A large library.
A real review process.
DreamBug uses AI-assisted tools in book production, including illustration. People set the direction, review the result, request corrections and decide what reaches the app.

- 01
Check the manuscript.
Stories are built for defined age bands, with structure, length and vocabulary checks before they become books.
- 02
Review the illustrations.
Characters and settings use visual references for consistency. When a page is wrong, the production workflow records the problem and queues a correction.
- 03
Review the finished app.
The current release library was reviewed on-device before its titles were locked into the app build.
A documented correction
When the picture did not match the story, it was redrawn.
One Cloud Ship page showed a rocky island instead of the established cloud island. The problem was recorded, the page was regenerated, and the corrected version passed its verification check.
How AI is used
AI tools help create DreamBug books, including the illustrations. The books are prepared and reviewed before release; nothing is generated live while a child is reading.
Human editorial responsibility.
People choose what is published and can remove or correct work that does not meet the standard.
Choose which books
your child can see.
Show or hide individual titles. Choose age ranges.
Decide which collections to include, separately for each reader.
The “Choose stories” screen shows which books are available to Maya. The switch beside Bean and the Quiet Grove is on.

What does not: the illustrations or the rest of the story.

About the book-price comparison
This is an illustrative US-dollar comparison, not the average price of books online. Penguin Random House lists the hardcover edition of Thingamabob by Marianna Coppo at $18.99 (checked 19 September 2026). Three books at that price would total $56.97 before any tax or shipping; retailer prices and discounts vary.
Printed books are yours to keep. DreamBug’s $49.99 annual price is for one year of digital access to a different collection of original stories, not ownership of those printed titles. The DreamBug covers above show our library, not the comparison books. Annual savings of $45.89 compare $49.99 with 12 payments of $7.99 ($95.88).
QUESTIONS BEFORE STORY TIME
Questions parents ask.
Straight answers.
What you get, what parents control, and how the books are made.
Still wondering? Ask us
How many books are included?+
The current app build contains 113 complete illustrated books. Three books are free to read; an active membership opens the full library.
Can I choose which books my child sees?+
Yes. Parents can show or hide individual titles, choose age ranges and select collections for each reader profile.
What ages is DreamBug designed for?+
The current library is organised into four reading bands: ages 2–4, 4–5, 5–6 and 6–7. Parents decide which bands appear on each shelf.
Does it work without internet?+
Yes. The library is bundled with the app, so books can be read offline once DreamBug is installed.
What can be personalised?+
You can create separate reader spaces, choose a library background and, in selected stories, substitute a child’s first name for a matching character’s name. The illustrations do not change.
Are the books made with AI?+
AI-assisted tools are part of production, including illustration. People set the direction, review the finished books, request corrections and choose what reaches the app. Nothing is generated live while a child reads.
Do I need an account?+
No DreamBug account or email sign-up is required to read. Reader details, favourites, progress and shelf choices are kept on the device. Apple handles subscriptions through your Apple account.
Can I cancel or restore a subscription?+
Yes. Subscriptions are managed and cancelled through your Apple account. DreamBug can ask Apple to restore an eligible purchase on your device.
