The Magical Books that features the cutting-edge Augmented Reality (AR) technology were introduced last year and received an overwhelming response from the visitors who discovered the magic of Augmented Reality. This year, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale Pahang will be bringing a total of 17 titles of Magical Books. For parents and teachers who are looking for an interactive way to engage with the children, the Magical Books create an immersive and interactive reading experience for all. 6 new titles including The Wheels on the Bus, Old Macdonald, Disney Frozen: A Sleepover Party, Disney Winnie the Pooh: Fun with First Words, ABC Fun with Mickey and Counting Fun with Mickey are included in the Book Sale.

Other than the Magical Books, one of the highlights of this year’s Sale is the Come-To-Life Puzzle Sets. Each of the 2-in-1 sets comprises a 28-piece puzzle that also features the latest cutting-edge Augmented Reality (AR) technology. Once the physical puzzle is being put together, users can scan the completed puzzle with the free Hippo Magic app, resulting in a come-to-life character and three-dimensional interactive scene appearing over the puzzle. Recommended for children from ages 3-5 years old, these puzzle sets offer young learners the experience of putting the physical puzzles together and also to play with their favourite classic characters. The Come-To-Life Puzzles will be featured in the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale Pahang 2020 including Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and many more.
