Abstract :
In recent years, in recent years, in child-rearing, the education using a Picture Book attracts attention. However, a Picture Book is not cheap. Rather, the price of Picture Books is higher than other books. This is a bad point of a Picture Book. It is educationally worthy to give the child of infancy many Picture Books. However, the price of Picture Book is expensive, and there are not many homes which can purchase many Picture Books. Of course, saving of expense is possible if a Picture Book is made by itself. However, it is not easy. It is not only a problem of money. Infants are always asking for the stimulus. Therefore, children demand one new Picture Book after another. A Picture Book cannot be forever offered to children. So, there is also business which makes an original Picture Book in recent years. It is very in fashion also as a gift. However, many of such Picture Books are the services chosen from the limited template or the limited material. That is, it cannot necessarily be said that originality is high. A Picture Book is an element indispensable to child-rearing and education. However, it is expensive. And a handmaid is difficult. In this research, we developed the "original Picture Book creation supporting system" which fulfilled two needs of "creating an original Picture Book" and "A Picture Book is got cheaply." Even if our system does not have special capability or environment, anyone can create an original Picture Book for free easily.
