– SIMPLY SERIOUS STORIES
Big lessons live in small animals
Engaging books with unforgettable characters. One simple idea, the hardest things to teach a child are easiest to understand through an animal who already lives it.
– THE ANIMALOGY METHOD
Why an animal, and not a lecture
Rules can be forgotten; characters are harder to forget. Children remember Charlie, who changes colour to become anyone’s favourite friend and that’s exactly what a stranger online is doing. Every Animalogy book follows the same three-part shape, so a lesson learned once is a lesson a child can find again on their own.
01 – MEET THE ANIMAL
A character, not a warning
Each animal has a true-to-life trait – a chameleon’s camouflage, an elephant’s memory – that becomes the whole story’s engine.
02 – LIVE THE STORY
The trait becomes the risk
A child in the story runs into the real situation (a stranger online, an oversharing moment) and feels what’s at stake before being told what to do.
03 – TALK IT THROUGH
A question, not a quiz
Every book ends the same way: a gentle reminder, and a companion activity book that turns the lesson into a conversation with a trusted adult.
– SERIES ONE
Cyber-Safety & Security
Four animals, four foundations every child needs before they’re online unsupervised: strangers, permanence, privacy and phishing.

ONLINE STRANGERS
Charlie the Chameleon
A chameleon who becomes anyone’s favourite friend, which is exactly how online strangers earn your trust.

DIGITAL FOOTPRINT
Eddie the Elephant
Eddie never forgets a thing he’s told. Just like the internet. A gentle lesson in thinking before you post.

PASSWORDS & PRIVACY
Peggy the Parrot
Peggy repeats everything she hears, perfectly. What happens when the thing she repeats is your secret word?

PHISHING & LINKS
Sidney the Spider
Sidney’s webs are beautiful, sticky and build to trap. A first lesson in spotting an online trap before it catches you.
– SERIES TWO
Wellbeing & Social Skills
Animals teaching the harder to name skills: speaking up when something feels wrong, slowing down in an always-on world and harmful bullying.

PROBLEM SHARING
Ollie the Owl
Wise, patient Ollie notices when something’s wrong and shows that sharing a worry makes it smaller, not bigger.

SCREEN TIME & FOCUS
Toby the Tortoise
Slow, steady Toby shows what changes when you stop rushing through a screen filled day “one step at a time”

BULLYING ONLINE
Laurence the Lion
Strong, confident Laurence learns that even the loudest roar can’t drown out cruel words online.

Simply Serious Stories
Every Animalogy book starts the same way: a hard, real conversation that’s difficult to have with a child directly, and an animal willing to have it with us.
