Crazy Question
For you children's librarians out there (or those with a remarkable knowledge) I've a crazy question. You know those books where you flip pages and change the image before you? For example, the image is of a face and you can flip to change the eyes, nose and mouth, thereby creating a wide variety of different combinations? Right. What are those books actually called? Is there a term for them? Because, to be frank, I haven't a clue.

You're dancing right on top of the answer. It's a flipbook.
Haha, thanks, now I'm going to be wracking my brain all day long!
Hmm, re-reading your post, I think you're talking about something different from what I first thought. I still like "flipbook" as the answer, though.
Flap book?
Flag book?
I agree with eric berlin that flip book is probably right, but also is already matched with a different type of book.
Hi.
I think a good definition of that kind of books is "lift-the-flap".
"Flipbook", I believe, is the "animation" book.
I like this article: http://www.library.unt.edu/rarebooks/exhibits/popup2/introduction.htm
Ciao,

no, its neither of those. I'm not sure there is a word . . .

Are you talking about mix & match? There are a lot listed with that designation at Amazon.

Definitely mix and match (or mix OR match).
This was a favorite example when I was a kid
Here's a typical contemporary one.
Cool. It looks like the term Mix and Match / Mix or Match is the closest we're going to come. Thanks for all the help!
Love the article, Sergio.
Mix and match was what came to my mind. I made one in art school -- it was so fun!
