Story Packs
Fifteen worlds, each with a companion animal. A pack sets where the story happens and who else lives there. Your child decides the hero, the problem, and the ending.
Woodland
Mossy paths, a chatty owl, and a bridge that only appears at dusk.
ages 2 to 5
Meadow
Long grass, wildflowers, and a wind that carries messages.
ages 2 to 4
Night
A quiet world for winding down, with stars that answer questions.
ages 4 to 8
Mountain
High paths, cold streams, and a cabin where everyone gets warm.
ages 4 to 8
Ocean
Tide pools, a lighthouse keeper, and a whale who collects lost things.
ages 2 to 6
Town
Cobbles, lamps, a bakery that opens at midnight, and a lost-and-found.
ages 5 to 9
Long Ago
Volcanoes, ferns, and creatures who have never seen a child before.
ages 4 to 8
Jungle
Vines, waterfalls, and a river that goes somewhere new every time.
ages 4 to 8
Snow
Lanterns in the snow, a frozen lake, and someone who needs a scarf.
ages 3 to 7
Space
A small rocket, a very large sky, and the way back home.
ages 5 to 9
Farm
A barn, a muddy gate, and an egg that is not where it was.
ages 2 to 5
Desert
Dunes, a hidden well, and stars that come out all at once.
ages 4 to 8
Castle
Towers, banners, a locked door, and a kitchen that feeds everyone.
ages 5 to 9
Island
A boat on the sand, a treasure that is not treasure, and a way off.
ages 4 to 8
Garden
Very short books about very small things: a snail, a puddle, a seed.
ages 2 to 4What a pack decides, and what it never decides
Packs give MirthTale a setting and a supporting cast to draw from, so that every book in a world feels like it belongs there. They never decide the hero, the problem, or the ending.
The pack sets
- The setting and its places
- The companion animal and the supporting cast
- The tone and the picture style
- The recommended age range
Your child sets
- Who the hero is
- What goes wrong
- How it ends, when they can say
- The title on the cover
Ages are a starting point
Each pack lists the ages it was written for, but the age setting on the device always wins. A nine-year-old can take the Woodland pack somewhere far more complicated than a three-year-old would, and both books will still be about the same owl.
