	The '''Storybook World''' is a variation of the [[Homestar Runner universe]] based on the children's storybooks that started [[Homestar Runner (body of work)\|Homestar Runner]]. Toons set in the Storybook World may spoof common tropes of children's literature, are typically captioned and narrated as if they were a book being read to the viewer, and feature characters rendered in a simpler hand-drawn style with limited animation. Oftentimes, Storybook World toons will be portrayed as books being read by the main characters.

	Because only two stories were actually completed in the original storybook format (with [[Where My Hat Is At?\|the second]] released directly to the Internet rather than physically), many Storybook World toons retroactively redesign characters and locations to fit this visual style; for example, [[The King of Town]] is reimagined as [[The Prince of Town]]. Whether extant or retroactively introduced, all Storybook variations of characters have slightly different personalities than their present-day counterparts.
