Should there be an interactive version of this book?
So for instance when Toni is doing dishes or rescuing that cat from a tree, there could be an extra fold on the page or sort of mini-windows that the child can open and close. These extra additions can have a "before" portion where dishes are undone, or the cat is on the tree, then an "after" portion with a clean sink or the cat safe. The "after" portion should be revealed after the child has interacted in some way with the page.
Wouldn't that draw the child in more?

Actually, I think folds and tabs get in the way with children who are just learning to read. They can be more interested in playing with the page than learning to read the words. The only "interaction" a child needs with a picture book is a thoughtful adult who will read with them and engage them in a conversation about characters and pictures.

I don't think that interactive portion would distract children from reading. Rather I think it will make the read memorable for them.joycechitwa wrote: โ27 Jul 2018, 17:08 @Dael Reader I do see your point about the children getting distracted. I'm not an early childhood expert or anything, my view stems from what I see when I visit the children's section of the library when I take my two infants to interact with the books there. Granted, they indulge more with the interactive books than just plain books. Whether that translates to actually grasping and recognizing the letters and words, I that's up for discussion.

I almost bought a book for a two-year-old yesterday with little cupcakes on the cover. But the cupcakes were thick foam pieces that stuck out from the pages. I chose not to buy it because I was worried the two-year-old would pull them off! I liked that they were textured and 3-D making them a little more interesting, but that just seemed like asking for trouble.Dael Reader wrote: โ27 Jul 2018, 07:05Actually, I think folds and tabs get in the way with children who are just learning to read.

This book can be made interactive. If we divide the book for the age group 1 to 4. Then for the age group of 3 and 4, we can easily use interactive version. Because at this age children start understanding about the concepts.Carly-maricque wrote: โ30 Jul 2018, 14:33 For a fun read, interactive flaps in the book would be awesome for young children! However, if you want to use this book to teach children to read (I am a kindergarten teacher) the flaps would be distracting and take away from your purpose. Therefore, it all depends on what your purpose is!

1 or 2 years old children have little to do with interactive version. Because they do not understand the message at it core. Yes elder one will go well with this. Because they frequently ask questions and respond to every new thing.Dael Reader wrote: โ29 Jul 2018, 14:46kfwilson6 wrote: โ29 Jul 2018, 14:04I almost bought a book for a two-year-old yesterday with little cupcakes on the cover.
