E-books

More and more children are becoming used to accessing information on smart phones and tablets, even reading books on them. It is important to consider this when designing a book as offering a digital version as well means it's more accessible to more people. Many childrens stories can be told on tablets using sound and animations, as well as interaction from the child such as tapping and swiping fingers on the screen.

How my book may look on iPhone -

Could tap the frying pan to hear a frying sound, click different pictures to reveal a new fact, flick ingredients list to lift flap, swipe to turn page (makes noise) turn horizontally to view two pages at once.
