Read

reading aloud
  Above all, C:\Bob\Run is about a good, short children's story. Either for the beginning reader or read-alouds with older siblings and parents, these stories are remembered for years to come. The book and Nylon components are modular, so books can be easily switched from the same Nylon unit.
     
Watch

hotpants
  The innovation brought about by Nylon allows the middle of the book to function as a viewing screen. Each part of the story has a central action which can be depicted on the Hotpants, bringing the child into the story with engaging visuals.
     
Learn

kids programming
  Seeing the actions on the screen increases comprehension of new words. By changing the book modules, these can be introduced at various difficulty levels over time or for different children. Older kids can explore literary and computer learning skills by writing and animating their own stories!
