Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Whether by magic or by haunting, books are many times portrayed as being able to fly. This is usually done by the book flapping its pages like the wings of a bird. If in a video game, may be used as a minor mook. See also Books That Bite. Examples: |

Discworld: The Librarian of Unseen University makes it perfectly clear that if you want to consult the books on flying and levitation spells, you've got to catch them first. He will lend you the very long stepladders, however, as they're generally to be found flying around in the roofspace somewhere. | |

Doraemon: In one episode, by using the 'Hypnotizing Megaphone', Nobita and Suneo make their comic books take on the characteristics of birds, specifically those of swans, so that the books can fly away from being dumped by their owners' mothers. Cue all the books flying south and just not coming back even when their owners want them to, as swans are migratory birds and the time is winter. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?", two distinct examples are present: As the Tantabus moves between ponies' dreams, it turns objects that they like into monsters to make the dreams nightmares and feed on the resulting fear. In Twilight's dream, who being the bibliophile that she is is dreaming about reading, it turns her books into leathery-winged book-bats to attack her. Notably, unlike most examples, these don't use their covers as wings — rather, they sprout catlike wings from their sides and use those to fly. Later, when the ponies are fighting the Tantabus in their collective dream by using lucid dreaming to gives themselves powers and tools, Twilight recreates her old library house and animates its contents to create a cloud of flying books with which to swarm the Tantabus. These ones fly in the more traditional manner, by flapping their pages and covers. |
