Reading a NOOK Children's Book

Your NOOK supports NOOK Children's picture books, specially designed for young children and formatted for rich-
colour, touch-screen displays. These books open in landscape orientation in order to best present the illustrations in
picture books' two-page spreads.
Moving from Page to Page
To turn to the next page in a NOOK Children's book:
• swipe to the left (drag your finger from right to left across the screen), or
• tap anywhere along the right-hand edge of the screen
To turn back to the previous page:
• swipe to the right, or
• tap along the left-hand edge of the screen
To skip from one part of the book to another, do this:
1. Tap the white arrow at the bottom of the screen.
A scrollable panel with thumbnail images of pages appears at the bottom of the screen.
2. Slide your finger right or left across the thumbnail images to find the page you want to read.
3. Tap the thumbnail image of the page.
The book displays the page you selected. The scrollable panel disappears.
Choosing a Way of Reading
There are various ways you can enjoy a NOOK Children's book. Some books include narration (a built-in audio track
that reads the text aloud as you move from page to page). Some books also include animation and interactive activi-
ties. NOOK Children's books include a Read and Record feature that lets you record your own narration of the book.
When you open a NOOK Children's book, you will see square buttons on the left-hand side of the first screen,
colour-coded for non-readers. The buttons are labelled:
• Read by Myself
• Read to Me or Read and Play
• Read and Record
NOTE: The Read to Me and Read and Play buttons appear only on NOOK Children's books with narration or
activities.
