Chapter 5. Reading NOOK Kids Books
KIDS’ BOOKS TRULY COME alive on the NOOK, with interactive activities and features—you can even record yourself reading the book, so your child can listen to you reading even when you can’t be there. You’ll learn how to do all that and more in this chapter.
What Can NOOK Kids Books Do?
