A peek inside

How the adventure unfolds

These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh for your child - their name woven through every page, with the words, sentence length and tone tuned to their age, and shaped by the story, interests and details you choose.

A basket of kittens from directly above, all of them busy, none of them looking up.

Chapter One

So Many to Choose From

Your child came to choose a kitten and found a whole basket of them, all asleep in a heap.

One kitten out of the basket and walking, with total confidence, in one direction.

Chapter Two

One Walks Over

One small grey one woke up, walked straight over, and sat down on your child's foot as if that settled it.

Chapter Three

It Settled It

It had, in fact, settled it. your child carried the kitten home, and the kitten looked extremely pleased with itself.

These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with your child in them when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.

Is this the one?

Who the Kitten Who Chose First is for

The Kitten Who Chose First reverses the usual pet story: your child goes to choose and is chosen instead. That small switch is why it works for a child who is anxious about whether an animal will like them. Bought in the days before a cat arrives, and often kept afterwards.

Nought to eight. The very young enjoy the kittens. From about five the joke that the decision had already been made by somebody else is properly funny, and it does something reassuring at the same time. Reading level chosen at setup.

For Maayan, who went to choose a grey one and came home with this one instead.

Every book opens on a dedication page. You write your own - this is one that suits this story.

Common questions

What age is The Kitten Who Chose First for?

The Kitten Who Chose First is written for ages 0-8. The story is generated at the reading level you pick during setup, so the same book works at the younger or older end of that range.

How is The Kitten Who Chose First personalized?

You upload one photo of your child. That photo becomes the illustrated hero - same face shape, hair and skin tone - and stays recognizable across all 12 chapters. Their name, age and a dedication are woven in too.

How long is the book, and what formats are there?

Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $14.90, softcover $38.90 and hardcover $42.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. The cover and the whole first chapter - artwork included - are generated free. You only pay if you want the remaining eleven chapters.
