Understanding Kids, Play, and Interactive Design: How to Create Games Children Love
暫譯: 理解兒童、遊戲與互動設計：如何創造孩子們喜愛的遊戲

This book is a way of sharing insights empirically gathered, over decades of interactive media development, by the author and other children's designers. Included is as much emerging theory as possible in order to provide background for practical and technical aspects of design while still keeping the information accessible. The author's intent for this book is not to create an academic treatise but to furnish an insightful and practical manual for the next generation of children's interactive media and game designers.
