Children love books and especially e-books. They help them discover the joy and power of reading because, among other things, they are beautifully illustrated, Flash animated and words highlight as they are spoken or sung to make it easier for kids to follow along. That means that they are fun-to-read stories and provide an opportunity for children to discover how much fun reading can be.
