The loudspeaker 1o is marked 11 near its free end and with a stylus 12 ver. see. The weight 11 is on the underside of the speaker Arranged 1o, while the stylus 12 is located laterally on the edge of the loudspeaker 1o. One rotatable about the axis of rotation 15 Record 14 is fitted on side 4 in such a way that it can interact with stylus 12. If the Page 4 has a depression because of the thickness of the record 14, the height of the axis of rotation 15 corresponds to the thickness of each Page, so that the pages lie tightly on top of each other after closing the toy, which is designed as a picture book, for example.

the thickness of the joint requires it.

If the weight 11 is attached to the underside of the loudspeaker 1o, as shown in the drawing, a better sound effect _{9 is obtained} because the stylus 12 of the loudspeaker 1o rests better on the surface of the record.

A picture book with a fairytale-telling loudspeaker has an easy-to-use structure and allows ₉ to view the pictures at the same time and to record the acoustic explanations for the pictures and, if necessary, the letters.
