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.

Chapter One

A Waggy Welcome

The little puppy bounded into your child's arms with a happy wag and a soft, warm nuzzle.

Chapter Two

Learning Together

Your child filled the water bowl, brushed the fluffy fur, and taught the puppy to sit - mostly.

Chapter Three

Best Friends

Curled up together at last, your child knew this puppy was a friend for life.

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 My New Puppy is for

My New Puppy is about the first week rather than the excitement. The puppy chews things, has to be taught, and the friendship in the last chapter is earned by looking after it. Bought most often just before a dog arrives, by parents who want the responsibility part landed early and gently.

Nought to eight. Babies get the wagging and very little else. School-age children get the middle chapter, where the puppy is genuinely hard work and stays lovable anyway, which is the honest part and the reason it is worth reading twice. Reading level chosen at setup.

For Shai, who asked for a dog every day for two years and then did every walk.
Every book opens on a dedication page. You write your own - this is one that suits this story.

Common questions

What age is My New Puppy for?

My New Puppy 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 My New Puppy 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.
