French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Printing & Publishing / Interactive book | | French term or phrase: rhodoïde | I'm translating a series of interactive books for children.
In one of them, they use "rhodoïdes" or "rhodos" for short.
I know what this is - its a printed plastic sheet that allows you to first hide and then reveal certain content on a page, but unfortunately I have no idea what it is called in english.
An example of such books can be found in the Gallimard "mes premières découvertes" series, which is famous for its "cocinelle"/"ladybird" title. (Is this a Doring Kindersly book in English?)
Would anyone be able to help with this word? |

| | (acetate) overlay | Explanation:
I really don't know the English term but I used to use acetate sheets in my (short-lived) teaching days... according to my Larousse, "rhodoid" is made using acetate though I'm not sure if yours are made wholly of that. Here's one example that *seems* to be along the same lines:
"Synopsis:
Carle is it again with astonishingly beautiful collage illustrations and a story that introduces the very young to the wonders of aquatic life and some very special daddies. A "hide-and-seek" feature with acetate overlays adds a colorful surprise. Ideal for Father's Day. Full color."
