Foot for Thought - A virtual Pop-up Book

Many years ago, I wrote, illustrated, printed (including making the printing plates), die-cut, and hand assembled a little popup book. About 10 years ago, I discovered Hype and thought that it would be fun to make a virtual version of the book. I even managed to get my youngest son (then age 6) involved as a narrator. And then life got in the way. A few months back, I was invited to participate in a print show and I decided to include a framed version of my pop-up book. My wife insisted that I revisit the virtual version as well. She took the bull by the horns and finished what I had started so many years ago. While the virtual book still has several issues and limitless possibilities for improvement, I thought that I would share it on the forum as it has been very helpful in providing answers to challenges I had along the way. So, without further ado, here's the link. I hope you enjoy it.

Very cute!!! I like that the use of shadows made the popup elements stand out a lot more. I found some of the easter eggs :wink:.

(PS If there's only one small bit of feedback, it is that you might also want to have arrows on the first page; it wasn't clear to me what to do to advance at first)

Nicely done!

Appreciate the feedback, Jonathan! Obvious things are so often easy to miss. I've updated the files to include your suggestion.
