This paper presents the development of an interactive mobile augmented reality magical playbook for preschool children in
learning numbers using an old folklore literature, The Thirsty Crow, via mobile augmented reality application and
interactive physical book interface design. Augmented Reality (AR) refers to a technology that gives the ability to the user
the sense of the real world while interacting with the virtual and physical object. Mobile refers to portability usefulness of
