Interactive storybooks where children shape the story

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.

Litsee is designed for children aged 5 to 11, with stories written for reading ages 5 to 9, from early readers through to confident chapter-book readers. Text length, vocabulary and quiz difficulty adapt to the reading level you choose for each child profile.

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.

Yes, if you switch quizzes on. 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, new words and quiz results in the parent view.

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.

Family plans start at £4.99 a month for 15 interactive stories. Premium is £6.99 a month for unlimited stories, and Book Club is £24.99 a month for unlimited stories plus their favourite story printed and posted every month. Paying yearly saves up to 30%. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial (a card is needed to start it), and you can cancel any time.

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.

Yes, that is what Litsee does. Your child picks one of 15 heroes and a story world, then after each chapter chooses one of three paths or writes their own idea, and the next chapter follows it. Litsee writes and illustrates each story at your child's reading level and reads it aloud. It is for ages 5 to 11 and is made by Litsee Limited, a UK company (England and Wales, 15841656).

Many families read Litsee at bedtime: stories are designed to finish in one sitting with a clear ending, and every page can be read aloud. The best part is that your child gets to join in. They choose what happens next, so they are the author. Each story is written and illustrated by AI just for them, and every chapter's words are checked against child-safety rules before your child sees them, and there are no adverts.

Litsee does not have a fixed library of ready-made branching books. Your child creates the hero and picks the story world, then after each chapter chooses one of three paths or writes their own idea, and the next chapter is written to follow it, so every story is new and your child is the author. Each story is written and illustrated by AI at your child's reading level, every page can be read aloud, and every chapter is checked against child-safety rules before your child sees it. There are no adverts. Litsee is for ages 5 to 11, runs in the browser with nothing to install, and is made by Litsee Limited, a UK company.

Litsee uses AI to write and illustrate each chapter, but your child does the steering rather than typing a prompt and waiting: they choose the hero, the world and what happens next, and writing prompts invite them to write their own sentences to continue the story. Stories are pitched at reading ages 5 to 9, every chapter is safety-checked, and there is no open chat. If you would rather your child wrote with no AI at all, Litsee's free story starters, story dice and story planner on litsee.com use hand-picked lists, not AI.

Every family starts with a 7-day free trial, then plans start at £4.99 a month. A card is needed to start the trial, and nothing is charged if you cancel before it ends. Litsee's story-writing tools and interactive stories on litsee.com are free for everyone, with no sign-up.

Litsee is a web app rather than an app-store download. Open app.litsee.com in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer and sign in; there is nothing to install.
