Are you curious about the Wonder Owls Book Rating System?

Of course you are!

If you are like thousands of other parents and caregivers, the mountain of children’s books can be overwhelming. What age group can read this book? Does it spark creativity or play? What is the reading level? Does it introduce ideas or points of curiosity?

The Wonder Owls Book Rating gives you a head start on sorting books for your special love, all with an easy to read dial! Here’s what you see on the back cover of our books and how it breaks down:


CP (Curiosity Points): What level of engagement in topics or issues does this book inspire?
PL (Play Level): What level of play does this begin?
RL (Reading Level): For children starting to read, what level is this book? 
CR (Creative Rating): How does this book inspire?
Ages (Age Range): Suggested age range

Wonder Owls Rating Dial


Naturally, what you get from a book depends on how you use it, and the Wonder Owls system is just to get you started. For our Wonder Owls Original books, we'll put an icon on the spine WO Dial Iconand a full rating dial on the back. Future posts will go into the system in detail, and you can always direct any questions to  wonderowls.com.
