Questions parents ask
- Why is Collage & Cut-out offered for toddlers?
- Its shapes are big, simple and clearly separated, with strong flat colour and little background detail, so a young child can pick out the character at a glance. It is offered for toddlers and early readers. Older children choosing a paper look have Classic Storybook instead.
- Can I change the illustration style later?
- You pick a style each time you create a story, so stories in your library can look quite different from each other. A finished story keeps its style and can't be re-illustrated. To see another style, create a new story and choose it there.
- How does the story get personalised?
- You enter your child's name, age group and a few interests, then pick a mood, a length and an illustration style. The story is written around those choices. You can also add custom characters from a photo or a written description, so a sibling, friend or pet can join in.
