《变身记》是一种创新的儿童教育读物，通过翻动纸张页面实现图像变换效果1。这部作品源于17世纪英国内战时期的宣传单页，原版《人的开始、进展与终结》发行于1650年1，后被逐步改编成儿童识字和启蒙的辅助工具1。
美国版本最早于1789年印刷发行，由本杰明·桑兹编写1。到了1816年，该书出版的版本在首页明确声明"美人鱼和格里芬是虚构生物，从未真实存在"1，体现了当时对儿童教育真实性的考量。1833年，德文版本在宾夕法尼亚州哈里斯堡出版，配有新的插图设计1。这部翻翻书在美国和欧洲流行了两个世纪，许多读者还自行制作了手工版本1。耶鲁大学贝内克图书馆现藏有多个手工版本，包括钢笔素描和水彩绘制的本子1。
The flap book Metamorphosis emerged as an innovative educational tool in the 19th century, using manipulated paper pages to reveal changing images for young readers 1. Originally derived from propaganda broadsides during England's Civil War in the 17th century, the concept was repurposed into a literacy aid that gained popularity across America and Europe over two centuries, with many readers creating handmade versions of their own 1.
The 1816 edition of Metamorphosis carried a notable disclaimer on its opening page: "Mermaids and griffins are fictional creatures that never truly existed" 1. The original work, titled The Beginning, Progress and End of Man, was first published in 1650 during the English Civil War 1. The American adaptation appeared earliest in 1789, authored by Benjamin Sands 1, while a German-language edition with new illustrations was published in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1833 1. Yale University's Beinecke Library preserves multiple handmade versions of these flap books, including examples executed in pen sketches and watercolor 1.
