This story book is designed for the age group 4-6 years, carefully matched storybooks to the children.The children appeared to be equally as interested and enthusiastic while reading story book. However, when asked which book they preferred they tended to choose the book loaded with causal information, suggesting that the children were influenced by storybook .
