A range of books come with augmented reality features to get children to read more, writes Syida Lizta Amirul Ihsan. EVEN before I gave birth, I knew I wanted to take the (almost) gadget-free parenting path. In Little Bear’s Big Adventure, you can count strawberries interactively or have instruments playing like a guitar. I think the book can supplement traditional ones and make reading hours more entertaining, but I suggest parents read this book first as-is and only after the story has been thoroughly explored that they introduce the AR pages so toddlers don’t automatically assume all books come to life like these. The Magical Books (there are 17 titles) are available at the Big Bad Wolf book sale which runs until Dec 16.
