Can anyone locate this 70s children's book?

It was a dark colour - probably black and it was a large, heavy hardback. Almost A4 sized I'd say

It was filled with short stories - children's ones and it was illustrated with colour drawings. I can remember one about a frog and a pond maybe and another one about a ballerina possibly

The front cover was very distinctive ... it was a hard hologram so you could tilt the book and it would change the image. It was maybe a ballerina on the front but I can't swear to this.

I'd love to see this book again! I was 5 when I remember owning it and I'm now 49 so this was a book from the early 70s for sure, I was born in 71.

Any help or ideas at all? Thank you Daffodil

I think it might be The Fairytale Treasury in Living Colour... not very obtainable though sadly

That's close but not quite right I don't think. But thank you for responding

I'm almost certain the book itself is black with this square in the middle where there's a holographic image which I think is a ballerina - I would know it immediately if I saw it again.

I think they call them lenticular books if that helps your search at all
