You can easily make interactive books for children.

A book will consist of many cards with each card being a page in your book.

You can have each page do something different

You can add movement, games, graphics, photos and even action to each page. When an object is clicked, have it do something, move or change into something else.

    for example: have a picture of an egg on a button. When they click on it, show a picture of a tiny chick

        import pictures of an egg and a chicken. Note their ID number. (e.g. egg ID=1009 and chicken ID=1010)

        set the button to be the egg. (in the Property Inspector for the button, under "Icons and Border", make the icon = 1009)

        add the following code to the button's script

            on mouseUp

                set the icon of me to 1009

            end mouseUp

            on mouseDown

                set the icon of me to 1010

            end mouseDown

            Now, the egg will turn into a tiny chick when you click down on it

You can have things move around (see the "move" command), jump up and down, change into something else and lots of other fun things

You can personalize the book with the name of the reader and make it about him/her. Ask the name, then use it throughout the book

There is a good tutorial at LiveCode called "Story Maker"
