SOLON, OHIO [November 1, 2024] — Playaway Products, the innovator of the North American pre-loaded library market, celebrated another milestone in 2024 with the addition of adult titles to its award-winning Wonderbook read-along collection. Wonderbook Adult is a hardcover book with a ready-to-play audiobook inside, providing exceptional value to library patrons. With flexible options to read, listen, or both, adults can enjoy world-class content whenever and however they choose with no Wi-Fi or downloads required.
This new collection transforms reading for adult patrons, whether they are bookworms or developing readers in need of multi-modal literacy tools. With titles like "The Firm," "Little Fires Everywhere," and "The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store," Wonderbook Adult delivers age-appropriate content in a versatile all-in-one format. With Wonderbook Adult, Playaway Products further strengthens its mission to make great stories accessible to everyone.
Wonderbook Adult’s exclusive Book Mode is special bonus content designed to give patrons an unmatched literacy experience. This mode elevates the reading experience by providing an interactive, discussion-friendly feature within each title. Tailored for book clubs or individual enrichment, this mode includes guided prompts, thematic questions, and insights that encourage deeper engagement with the story. With Book Club Mode, Wonderbook doesn’t just offer a read-along option—it provides an enriched, community-oriented reading experience that brings stories to life in a new, shared way for adult readers.
"With a mix of large and traditional print, audio, and the bonus content in Book Club Mode, Wonderbook Adult is a uniquely valuable format, merging entertainment with proven literacy benefits," said Steph Trivison, Senior Product Manager. “It’s an exciting step forward in making Wonderbook not only a children's reading tool, but a true catalyst for adult literacy, entertainment, and connection."
