Why read it?

1 author picked Tap, Click, Read as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The book inspired me to write in jargon-free language when communicating research to non-academic audiences. I loved the many examples in the book illustrating how young children tap, click and indeed read with modern interactive screens.
