Introduction
Reading is one of the most fundamental skills, a child needs to learn to succeed in life. The more you read to your children, the more knowledge they absorb, and knowledge is important in all aspects of life. There have many studies that show reading to young children give them a head start and helps to prepare them for school later down the line. (Imroatun, 2018(Imroatun, , 2017Ma'isyah, 2018;Mawadah, 2018) After all, reading with your children gives them the skills needed for when they start to read themselves. (Rahmawati, 2016) Developing good reading habits is vital to your child's future not just academically, but in everyday life as well. It is responsible of all parties, parents, school and government or child care observer in improving the ability children's reading. In the other hand, there are large number of children's story books which are labeled according to the age and level of the child's own development, but in fact incompatible with their age.
The children's story books in the form of short stories, novels or comics are dominated by foreign markets such as Walt Disney series, Japan comics series, and many more. Children need to be given reading materials that are appropriate with their age and closed to their tradition so young learners have a responsibility towards the surrounding environment and they also grow their love for the region they live in.(Kurniawan, 2018) One of the best resources for reading material is story book based on oral story of local tradition. The 'oral' tradition became a symbol of backward societies of nation (Rosenberg, 1987).
The story has long been born as a way for understanding and ideas as well as inheritance of values that grow in society. Oral traditions anthropologically developed by Andrew Lang who claimed that forms (oral traditions) such as legendary narratives, narrative stories that make people wonder what the next that comes from a period of narrative seems irrational based on its primitively, but because it was understandable, the story was inherited/revealed from generation to another (Finnegan, 1992). Even the story has for centuries served as the basis for communication between the creator and the community, in the sense that oral creation is easier to replace because there are known elements the community.
Local traditions emerge for generations and there is a deep meaning behind their appearance. "Local wisdom is one of the sources of knowledge (culture) of society, exists in tradition and history, in formal and informal education, art, religion, and other creative interpretations." (Mufid, 2010) Almost every community has its own local wisdom (Amirrachman, 2007). folklore is a form of oral literary work that was born and developed in traditional societies, and distributed in a relatively fixed or standard form distributed among certain collectives in a long time (Danandjaja, 2005). Folklore in the form of myths, legends or fairy tales, basically have a function in the middle of the storytelling environment as a medium to entertain and teach good values . This is a form of communication in traditional societies in transferring good and bad values for members of the community. oral literature still functions as a means of direct communication in society, so that in society to convey wishes and hopes can take the form of folklore (A Teeuw, 1984). The function of folklore for society is: (a) making people aware that there is a magical power, (b) providing guarantees today, and (c) giving knowledge to the world.

Research Methodology
This is not a classroom action research even there is an intervention from researcher. (Prihantoro & Hidayat, 2019) The development model in this study uses a descriptive procedural model developed by Borg and Gall (Setyosari, 2016). The steps developed from the Borg and Gall Model can be shown as follows: In this study data collection can be done in several ways as follows: (1) Observation: In this research development, researchers use non-participant observation, ie researchers do not involve themselves directly with the activities of people. The researcher only observes, done in passing at the time of observation. Observations were made at Pertiwi Kindergarten Samiran, Kindergarten level B at the aged of 5-6 years. (2) Questionnaire: Also known as a questionnaire. Questionnaires as a product evaluation sheet are used to obtain data about the feasibility of developing teaching materials. The questionnaire instrument was prepared using a Likert scale. (3) Interviews : In this study when observations were made the subject of the interview was one of the community leaders in the village of Samiran in the Selo sub-district named Mr. Salip. The interview results obtained are the background why the sego gunung tradition is carried out, and the results of this interview will be processed into children's picture books.  Data from the questionnaire is qualitative data that is quantitative using a Likert scale with 5 levels criteria. The score criteria used for development in providing assessments to children's story books are as follows (Doni Adriansyah, 2017) :

The Product Development Results
First, the story concepts based on oral story tradition that still exist in the Selo district such as the Sego Gunung tradition, along with simple exercises such as coloring and question and answer to stimulate students' thinking after they have finished reading the storybook. Second, the story based on oral story of local traditions in Samiran village as Literacy Supports have a coverage concept and systematic presentation in story books. Language plays an important role in the reader's understanding of the content of the story, because it functions as a means of delivering information in the storybook. The use of communicative, simple and logical language will make it easier for users of storybooks to understand the story. = 50 x 100% = 100% 50

Conclusion
The development of picture book media is designed by using corel draw. By designing the layout of the book first, then drawing illustrations. After the design of the picture book media is complete, a printing is carried out , then given to the content expert, the design expert to determine the feasibility of the designed media. The results of content expert validation get 80% percentages included in the category valid, from design experts get 80% percentage and enter into valid categories. While the results of the teacher's own questionnaire regarding the use of the pictorial story book media were sourced from oral stories originating from their own area the percentage reached 100% which was included in the very valid category.
