About the artist/animations (from Wikipedia)
Julian Wehr (1898–1970) was known as the “American Master of Animated Books”. Around 9 million copies of Wehr’s books were sold in the United States and Great Britain, and were translated and sold in France, Germany, and Spain during the 1940s and 1950s.
Animated and Pop-Up Books
Wehr invented and patented the animated children’s book that contained moveable paper parts using tabs, commonly read by children in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. An animated pop-up book consists of three elements: a story, colored illustrations of the text, and two or more animated illustrations with their movement mechanisms working between a double page.
