HOW IT WORKS
A Seal of Approval review involves a multi-step process conducted over an eight-week period.
Parents and children, experience and review submitted products and services either already released or coming to market.
Participants fill out questionnaires for each product or service they test. They score based on 13 levels of criteria including quality, appeal, design, price, packaging, directions, desirability, stimulation, replay factor, and more. Results are based on both statistical averaging and comments received by testers.
There are three testing periods each year:
| Report Period |

Submission Deadline |

Each submission must be accompanied by a $295 product testing fee (we offer multiple submission discounts). This fee covers the cost of testing, nothing more. It is non-refundable and has no bearing on the result of the testing. Additionally, we require three samples of the product or access codes for online submissions.

God must have loved children, for he made the dinosaurs. And publishers know it, because there are lots and lots of books about dinosaurs. Among the newest ones are Dinosaur Discoveries by Robin West and Bob and Diane Wolf, an ingenious book with step-by-step instructions for actually making your own dinosaurs out of construction paper, scissors and glue. The other book, Dinosaurs by Dale Gibbons, is a clearly written and illustrated paperback that introduces small children not only to various prehistoric beasts, but to the work of paleontologists and to a couple of theories as to why the dinosaurs disappeared, a hotly debated question that you may well have to confront when your child asks you about it – and he will. This fine book can be bought, together with a tape and work booklet, produced by Listening Library.
