To address that, this paper aims at determining the most common interface components for digital interactive storybook that make children feel aroused when interacting with. In accomplishing that, a series of field study was carried out, involving a sample of interactive digital storybook.Data were collected from 13 children aged seven to nine through observation and interview.In the end, a set of most common elements that make children aroused when interacting with interactive digital storybook were gathered.
