Abstract

In this paper, we present a smartphone based e-book application with interactive illustration authoring tool. The target readers of our e-book are children who study foreign language. Our application aims to educate preschool age children's foreign language by telling folktales with illustrations. To encourage effective learning, our application provides a tool that enables the user to create collage-based illustrations on the application by hand. In this function, the reader can make one's own illustration by employing colored paper collage style. We implement the application on Android-based smartphone.
