Poses are exaggerated and full of movement. Most pages show the characters and a few props on an off-white page with a simple ground line, rather than a full background.

Questions parents ask
- What stories suit Whimsical Cartoon?
- Funny ones. Big heads, pushed poses and simple faces make a character's shock or glee easy to read, which suits the Happy & Silly mood and lively adventures. Pages show the characters with a few props rather than a full background, so there is little to distract a young child.
- 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.
