All the children like story picture books. Along with the strengthening of the intellectual education, such picture books become more diverse and richer in styles and contents.

The story picture books published by the Institute of Books for Children's Intellectual Education under the Educational Books Publishing House are popular among children.

Director Jang Tae Gil, who has been establishing relations with children's picture books for over 20 years, has the experience of having written a lot of popular children's picture books such as "Animal Friends" and "Little Artists".

"Children like books which are more exciting and interesting and may be new experience. So, our institute has recently developed a new audio book according to the age and psychological characteristics of children."

Preschoolers can read the audio book with interest by using the program of intellectual books for children "Dear Friend" 1.0 loaded in smart mobile phones.

When they put their fingers on the figures and objects on each page of the picture book, they can hear words and explanations from the mobile phones.

Indulged in reading the books with fairy tales, children cultivate rich emotions and correct traits.

And the tactual sense the children feel when touching the figures or objects in a picture with their fingers has good effect on their brain activation.

In addition, children can easily learn the Korean language and improve their expressive power in the course of listening and repeating the words and intonations of the figures in the picture books.

Creators of the institute say that it is good to give intellectual education through observation, imagination, mnemonics, thinking and so on, but it is effective to develop all the elements of intelligence in a comprehensive way in a unified connection with the reality through stories.

The institute is concentrating efforts on enabling the children to develop their intelligence in a comprehensive way while reading picture books based on interesting stories.

It is said that the proportion of reading the picture books produced by the institute is high among children aged from 4 to 12.

The story picture books created by the institute draw the attention of many people as they give a considerable help to the intellectual development of children with different ages, levels, individuality and tastes.

The creators of the institute had cultivated dreams while reading the story picture books in the past.

They have the pride of giving the children the world of beautiful dreams.

The picture books are becoming more familiar with our little children thanks to the creators who are jointly advancing toward new goals with the pride.
