The Tome Traveler Trilogy (book 1, book 2, book 3) follows the adventures of Lucky the Librarian cat as they find lost books, repair damaged books, and catalogue the magical tomes that call the library home!
How do these adventures work?
This game/story uses the StoryGuider system and is intended for ages 2-7. It’s a choose your adventure coloring book, which means that you’ll read a story, pick what the character does, AND color the pages how you want.
There may also be other activities, like using maps, talking to characters, and choosing your supplies to act out and play with depending on each paritcular story!

Focus skills: Fill in missing words to make your own story, challenge assumptions

Practice seeing things from different perspectives and making play available to everyone in the group!
Focus skills: Take different perspectives, discuss accommodations in play, discuss differing likes/dislikes
StoryGuider: Night Flight is the final story in the Tome Traveler series, following Lucky as they track down a runaway (well…. flyaway) book who has taken off to see a midnight airshow! See if you can bring them back before morning!

- Point to pictures when they are named
- Give short answers (1-4 words)
- Play make-believe games
- Practice body exercises (gross motor skills)
- Color pictures and doodle (fine motor skills)
And then each story also focuses on 1-3 additional core social-emotional or learning-critical skills for kids!
About the StoryGuider system
StoryGuider is a system to help make simple stories with your kid(s) so they can get used to tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), decision-making, problem-solving, etc.
It focuses only on the RP side of TTRPGs (there are optional dice roll rules provided, but they are not required). This is so kids can get used to playing as a character and changing the story without having to simultaneously worry about learning mechanics that they are not familiar with. It is a stepping stone into playing more rules-based TTRPGs OR can just be a fun interactive story time experience!
I hope you have fun with this adventure, and happy gaming!
