摘要

資訊科技時代來臨，造成許多變革。改變了社會及經濟狀況，人類生活方式和環境也都因科技產品的應用而有重大變化。許多生活用品漸漸被電子化、數位化的產品取代。資訊傳遞上，透過網際網路不但無遠弗屆，而且更快速方便。人們尋求資訊與閱讀新知的方式因此有了改變。電子書－成為出版的另一種選擇與趨勢，兒童文學創作者也都紛紛投入電子書的市場。
兒童電子書作為一個「新型態的兒童讀物」已經是趨勢潮流，它提供了兒童另一種接觸與欣賞文學的管道，同時也為兒童讀物帶來新的空間與新的研究方向，延伸的知識擴充更是可觀。然而如何將兒童電子書的優勢適當的發揮，是值得重視的。雖然兒童電子書不可能完全取代傳統童書，但童書大量的電子化卻是未來的必然趨勢。
本創作針對兒童電子書的介面設計進行研究，分析目前市面上兒童電子書之介面設計有何共通性及優缺點，歸納出一套介面設計的參考原則，並根據參考原則實際創作一套適合兒童閱聽的兒童電子書。創作內容由一隻小貓環遊世界作為開始，介紹世界五大洲十一個國家，每個國家分四個部份進行介紹：語言、人口、氣候、特色建築，讓兒童對其他國家有基本的了解。建構兒童概略的世界觀。
本創作期許能對國內兒童電子書在介面設計上有所助益。將兒童電子書的優勢發揮，讓兒童閱讀引導上有更清楚的方向。期待給未來兒童提供更豐富多樣化的學習空間。
