Vicki and Geraldine talk to the Professor of reading and children’s development at the Open University, an expert on children’s digital books. Are digital books the future of children’s reading?

- Can digital books appeal to a wider range of children than print books?

- Digital books have the potential to unlock the imagination and children’s creativity. Are they living up to their promise?

- There is an overlap between children’s digital books and games. Could books go the way of gaming and treat children as consumers, with constant nudges and inducements to spend money?
