Read “One Thousand and One Pages” and Discover the First Interactive Role-Playing Book

Belonging to the interactive role-playing book (gamebook) series that first appeared in Vietnam, the book series “I tell you the ending” by the children’s book brand Crabit Kidbooks allows readers to “interact” directly with the book, intervene in the plot, make choices from which the reading experience or the ending of the story will change. This is a book series that has been popular in the West and some Asian countries such as Japan, China...

“I tell you the ending” is an adventure and discovery book series written and illustrated by two French authors and illustrators, Sylvie Misslin and Amandine Piu. Unlike conventional picture books, “I tell you the ending” uses a special “cut-in-index” printing and page cutting technique, often seen in dictionaries, to create a new reading experience.

Readers have full freedom to choose the plot of the book through two options provided on each page. Each choice leads to a different point of development, meeting different characters, thus leading the reader to the end of the journey. The interesting point of the book is that even if you read the book a hundred times, it is still difficult to know in advance what the journey ahead will be like, whether you will reach the complete ending or have to read it all over again.

“I'll Tell You the End” includes 3 books: “Please Tell Me the End of the Story of Discovering the Secret Treasure”, “Please Tell Me the End of the Story of the White Horse Prince” and “Please Tell Me the End of the Story of the Strange Howl” with diverse settings, from fairy tale spaces, adventures in the forest to ocean exploration.

“A Thousand and One Pages” by author Mai Du, published by the Vietnamese Women’s Publishing House, also brings an extremely interesting reading experience. With a unique imagination and a vivid, visual writing style, the author leads readers to follow the little girl Lac Man into the bookstore A Thousand and One Pages, which is also the gateway to the world of books with countless wonders, a gathering place for book lovers.

Here, readers will be served by lion A Dong with meteor cake, blue sky soda, black hole cake... whose spices are the joyful, joyful and happy emotions in the world of books. But that world is being threatened by An Man Man, an electronic bug formed from the boredom, emptiness and negative emotions of people in the real world. All embark on a journey to protect the world of books. In the end, children who love reading will always have good luck.

This is a work that moves between reality and the page. The author has erased the limits of space and time between books and the real world as well as the boundary between humans and rare animals.

With a subtle way of thinking, through a magical story, the work talks about a truth that everyone knows but often ignores: Without books, without reading books, the world would turn into nothingness.
