Language development is the process by which children come to understand and communicate language during early childhood. Delayed language development will have negative effects on children�s daily life. Language development is one of the most important issues in children development. In the past few years, different kinds of interactive book apps have been developed. It has been proven that interactive story book app plays an important role in children's language development. However, it is difficult to find a suitable app for children, especially for Malay language.
