Interviews with students revealed they were more interested in reading when using pop-up books than regular textbooks. Most students admitted to feeling happy with the visual appearance and interactivity offered by the pop-up book. The study's conclusion shows that pop-up books are an effective and innovative learning medium. This research has made a significant contribution to the field of education, showing that interactive media such as pop-up books can improve various aspects of children's intelligence in an interesting and fun way.
