A story starring your child — and the family pet
For many children the family cat or dog is their best friend. In any of our children's stories you can add your pet as a companion, so they appear right next to your child on the adventure: floating through the stars, flying a kite or curling up at bedtime.
Who it's for
Families with a cat or dog and children aged about 3 to 8 who love their pet.
How the story goes
- 1Choose a children's theme: space, bedtime or sharing.
- 2Add your child, then turn on the pet companion and choose cat or dog.
- 3Name the pet — it joins the story on many pages.
- 4Create the book after purchase and read it together.
Read a sample: Lily and the Moonlight Garden
Example book with fictional characters — not a customer order.
Night had come. Lily snuggled into bed and watched silver moonlight drift softly through the window. Olive was curled up at the foot of the bed. It had been a day of running and laughing. Her eyes felt heavy, but her heart still hoped for an adventure.
Suddenly, a tiny light appeared at the window. It was a little firefly with wings dusted in stardust. Olive watched the light with curious eyes. “Hello, Lily!” said the firefly. “Lady Moon invites you to the Dream Garden tonight. Would you like to come?”
