title = "The promise of multimedia enhancement in children{\textquoteright}s digital storybooks",
abstract = "Apart from being vibrant, many children{\textquoteright}s digital books offer a rich source for learning as is confirmed by meta-analytic findings. The present chapter pinpoints ways in which children{\textquoteright}s books have been affected by digitization and which multimedia enhancements explain the boost these books provide particularly in groups of easily distractible children. There is increasing evidence for a positive impact of multimedia enhancements in digital books on children{\textquoteright}s story comprehension, especially of building in camera movements and motion into static pictures to guide children{\textquoteright}s visual attention. In contrast, common playful, interactive features reveal negative results although they might enhance children{\textquoteright}s engagement. This article discusses new ways in which designers can use interactive features in a meaningful manner.",
