The role of the Lite Brites is obvious. The roles of color and low-resolution pointillism in the animations bring out enough detail to tell the story without having it interfere in the way a reader imagines the characters and actions in their minds. A more advanced display would turn into television with closed captioning, eliminating the role of imagination.
Pat the Bunny is the touch-equivalent of C:\Bob\Run, with a circle of fuzziness right through the middle of the book. The parallelogram of visualization takes just as little attention to work with, and increases understanding and fun levels. |
