INTERACTIVE STORYBOOK APP · AGES 4–9
Interactive storybooks where children shape the story
Litsee turns reading into something a child does, not something they watch. They invent the hero, choose the world the story happens in, and decide what happens at every turning point — then read the book their choices wrote, with comprehension questions woven into the pages.
- ✓ Ad-free and safe by design
- ✓ No card needed to try
- ✓ Reading levels for ages 4–9
HOW IT WORKS
How an interactive storybook works
Every Litsee book is built in the same four steps, and takes about ten to twenty minutes to read from start to finish.
- 01
Create the hero
The child names their character and chooses how they look, how they behave and what they are unusually good at. The story is then written in that hero's shoes.
- 02
Build the story world
They choose the setting — enchanted forest, pirate seas, candy kingdom, jungle quest, dragon castle or outer space — which decides the cast, the obstacles and the artwork.
- 03
Read and decide
Illustrated pages arrive with narration. At each turning point the reader chooses between clear options, and the next chapter follows that decision.
- 04
Answer and keep it
Short comprehension and vocabulary questions appear between chapters, and the finished book is saved to the child's library to re-read or re-route.

- Create the hero
- The child names their main character and chooses appearance, personality traits and a special skill. That hero is written into every page of the story.
- Build the story world
- Enchanted forest, pirate seas, candy kingdom, outer space and more. The chosen world sets the setting, the characters they meet and the kind of problems the hero solves.
- Read an illustrated page
- Each page pairs original artwork with story text at the child's reading level, with read-aloud narration and tap-to-define words.
- Decide what happens next
- At each turning point the reader picks from clear choices. The next chapter is written around that decision, so the plot genuinely branches.
- Comprehension, in the moment
- Questions on meaning, vocabulary and sequence appear between chapters while the story is fresh, and feed the progress view parents see.
- Choose the look
- Children pick an illustration style for their book, from soft watercolour to bold storybook ink, and every page is drawn to match.
- Keep the finished books
- Completed stories are saved to the child's own library so they can re-read them, or start again and take the story a different way.
STORY CREATION
Story creation: characters and worlds
Characters children actually own
A hero starts with a name and grows from there: appearance, a personality trait such as brave, curious or kind, and one stand-out ability. Those choices are not decoration — they change how the hero solves problems on the page, which is what makes children read their own book more carefully than a fixed one.
Children can keep a favourite hero and send them into a new world, or start fresh with a whole new cast.
Worlds that set the rules
- Enchanted forest — puzzles, talking animals and hidden paths
- Pirate seas — maps, bargains and storms to outsmart
- Candy kingdom — playful invention and sharing dilemmas
- Jungle quest — teamwork, tracking and careful observation
- Dragon castle — courage, negotiation and unlikely friendship
- Outer space — curiosity, discovery and problem solving
READING
The reading experience
Levelled text
Sentence length, vocabulary and page count follow the reading level set on the child's profile, from early phonics to confident chapter reading.
Read-aloud narration
Any page can be read aloud, so a child who is stretching beyond their level is never stuck on a word.
Comprehension built in
Questions on meaning, vocabulary and sequence sit between chapters, so understanding is checked while the story is still live.
Original artwork
Every page is illustrated in the art style the child chose, which keeps the book feeling like theirs rather than a template.
Sessions that end well
Stories are designed to finish in one sitting, with a clear ending rather than an endless feed.
Their own library
Finished books stay in the child's library to re-read, or to replay with different choices and a different ending.
PARENTS
For parents
Litsee is built to be the screen time you do not have to argue about. There are no adverts, no open chat and no external links inside stories, and account settings sit behind the parent area. Children read and create; they are not sold to.
Beneath the magic, the parent view shows reading time, stories finished, vocabulary met and quiz results, so you can see progress without quizzing your child yourself.

- Reading level set per child, adjustable any time

FAQS
Interactive storybook FAQs
What is an interactive storybook?
An interactive storybook is a story the reader helps steer. In Litsee, the child designs the main character, picks the world the story happens in, and chooses what happens next at key moments — so the same starting idea becomes a different book every time.
What age is Litsee for?
Litsee is designed for children aged 4 to 9, spanning early phonics readers through to confident chapter-book readers. Text length, vocabulary and quiz difficulty adapt to the reading level you choose for each child profile.
Can my child read independently, or do they need an adult?
Both work. Younger readers usually enjoy Litsee side by side with an adult, while children from about six read independently — every page can be read aloud by the app, and choices are made with a single tap.
Does Litsee help with reading comprehension?
Yes. Short comprehension, vocabulary and recall questions are woven into the story rather than bolted on at the end, so children answer while the plot is fresh. Parents can see reading time, vocabulary met and quiz results in the parent view.
Is Litsee safe and ad-free?
Litsee has no adverts, no external links inside stories and no open chat. Story worlds and characters are drawn from child-appropriate options, and account settings sit behind the parent area.
How much does Litsee cost?
Family plans start at £3.99 a month for 30 interactive stories, or £6.99 a month for unlimited stories. You can start a free story without a card, and cancel any time.
Which devices does Litsee work on?
Litsee runs in the browser on tablets, laptops and desktops, and on phones for shorter reads. Nothing needs to be installed — a child profile carries their stories across devices.
