1. What Do Children Want: Enhanced Books or Innovative E-lit for Kids?

   E-books for kids are one of the few areas in which commercial publishers are creating innovative literary works for tablets and smartphones, but most of the apps available do not explore the rich traditions of electronic literature, instead opting for a more linear “enhanced book” approach that strongly borrows from the tradition of picture books and in particular pop-up books. Scholarship on and criticism of children's’ book apps tends to be in the fields of literacy studies andchildren's literature rather than in the field of electronic literature, and this paper aims to bring the two domains together, looking at picture book apps aimed at young children.
