The SWEET HIGHLIGHTS provide an overview of what you should know about every book your child reads.

How funny is this book?  How scary is this book?  How appropriate is this book?

We’ve developed a scale for each of these three elements so that you can see where in the range each book falls.



The LAUGH METER determines if a book is:
Not funny at all
     Slightly funny
         Very funny
             The funniest



The FEAR FACTOR determines if a book is:
Not scary at all
     Slightly scary
         Very scary
             The scariest



The SUBJECT MATTER determines if a book has:
Appropriate content for the intended age
     Some questionable content for the intended age
         A lot of questionable content for the intended age
             The most questionable content for the intended age
