[First Embodiment]
[Constitution]
In the present embodiment, the present invention is applied to a picture book 1 as shown in FIG. The sheets 2 constituting each page of the picture book 1 are made of paper that can transmit light to the extent that the back surface can be seen through a light source. And the hidden character 3 which is the story of a picture book is printed on the back surface of the sheet 2 in the same color as the sheet 2 as shown in FIGS. As the ink used for printing, an ink having a lower transmittance than paper is used. As a result, the hidden character 3 is difficult to visually recognize from both the front and back sides, as long as the light source is not exposed to the light source. Further, the hidden character 3 is printed with an inverted inverted character (mirror character) so that it can be normally read from the front side when it is obscured by a light source.

In addition, each sheet | seat 2 may be bound so that it may be attached or detached in one side used as a spine. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, as a member for binding, a clip 5 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is used as shown in FIG. 4, and a ring 6 is passed through a hole formed in the sheet 2 as shown in FIG. However, it may be a detachable configuration and is not limited to a specific mode. A removable adhesive material may be applied to the edge of one side of each sheet 2 and attached to each other.

[Function and effect]
According to the present embodiment as described above, when reading the picture book 1, the front side is facing forward, and the light source is illuminated with a light source such as illumination or sunlight. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the hidden characters 3 printed on the back surface can be seen through, so that the story can be read. In this way, since it can be used as a book with hidden characters 3 that cannot be read in a normal state, the user's interest can be attracted and a different pleasure from a normal book can be given. In particular, since the actual form is picture book 1, both children and adults can enjoy it. Furthermore, when the sheet 2 is made detachable, it is convenient because the sheet 2 can be removed and held one by one in hand and placed on the light source.
