Detailed Description

Interactive books are a subgenre of literature that require participation by the reader. Reader interaction is vital to the progression of the story. Interactive books engage the reader and pull them into the story. This includes books that incorporate the use of modern technology or computerised books. This medium of storytelling allows the reader to dive into the story in more ways than one. The outcome is not always fixed, and it can vary as per the decisions made by the reader. Interactive comics grab hold of the reader’s attention by involving their senses. Readers must use multiple senses to participate in the story. Some examples of multi-sensory interactive books include touch and feel books, pop-up books, hidden object books, books that readers can respond to, digital books, colouring books, and game books.
