Whats the difference between Family Friendly and For Kids?
If a title has a “For Kids” designation, that means that the book was written specifically for kids. Parents and adults might enjoy the book as well, but the target audience was for someone in the Juniors department. If you see a “Family Friendly” rating, you can rest assured the book is safe for family listening. It may not be aimed specifically at your kids, but you can assume that the language and content are of what you might expect on U.S. network television in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday. Now keep in mind, every kid and every family is different. We’re trying our best not to make value judgments here. If you’re really concerned your kid might hear something you don’t approve of, you should be listening first. And if you’ve ever petitioned a public library to have a title removed from the shelves because it might damage your child… well, we’re not gonna make you happy no matter what we say.
