Digital Storybook for kids

I am creating this blog to talk about an idea to relate storytelling and interactive learning to children. This Digital book or app comes with a storyline which will provide multiple options throughout the story which will allow the child/user to be directed to an alternative storyline depending on the decision he/she makes. So to describe this more elaborately, as the child is reading through a story, a set of questions or choices will pop up at the end of a scene or the start of a climax. These choices will describe a choice for the child or character they are reading about. The child will choose among the couple choices and depending on what choice they will pick, determines an alternative story and ending to the particular subject they are reading about. This is just one advantage of this Storybook. 

The other advantage with this digital book is that it comes with interactive readings for the kids. So as the kids are reading through the book, an option is to highlight the words as the kids read it. This will help kids who are not good at reading know where they are and get a sense of what reading is like. Another cool thing is that kids will be able to enlarge pictures in the book, to view them more closely, and shrink them when they are done looking at it. Overall this is a fun interactive book/story for kids to read and learn while they read and will address their adventurous side, depending how far they want to explore.
