Ranger Rick

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Kids and Family
from: National Wildlife Federation

November 23, 2001
As a neighbor, aunt, and grandmother, I give Ranger Rick to a number of kids. It fosters reading, encourages the love of nature, and provides hours of fun. It's not expensive, plus it keeps on giving. The low subscription price is negligible, yet the child gets a "present" every month.

Your Big Backyard

from: National Wildlife Federation

November 23, 2001
My youngest daughter loves this magazine and I love that there is no advertising in it. The baby animals are very attractive to children and that keeps them interested in reading about them. I also receive Spider magazine for my older child and it does not contain advertising either.

American Girl

I have the Dec. Issue (awesome!). I has a cute seal poster and how to make these little polar bears and penguins that taste like peppermint. There is also a mealtime quiz and is really fun. I like it a lot.

I love reading and doing the games/puzzles with my 5 and 7 year old. The games actually build spatial and reasoning skills in a non stressful way.

Discovery Girls - a Magazine for Girls Ages 8 & Up

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Kids and Family
from: Discovery Girls


This magazine really is perfect. It features real everyday girls, showing that girls really can do anything. Many people say that it isn't appropriate for an 8 or 9 year old, and not all of it is. But, there are several parts that really would be nice for those younger girls. If you were a parent of a younger girl who was interested in DG (Discovery Girls) I would suggest briefly looking through it before you would give it to her. But, once a girl is about 10 or 11 and they're mature enough it is quite perfect.
DG mostly covers advice about growing up and all of the things that come along with it. If you are looking for crafts and recipes it might not be the best magazine for you. The American Girl Magazine might be better. But, ... Read More:

Muse

Fantastic magazine. But buy it directly from the publisher. The subscription price is exactly what amazon is offering, anyway, and you'll get it a lot faster. We also bought two sets of a year's worth from eBay.

Wild Animal Baby

I ordered this through Amazon because ordering it through the National Wildlife Federation website was not successful--and I tried twice. The magazine has not yet arrived so I cannot review it. I can review the NWF's website as difficult to negotiate. If it never arrives I'll have an opinion about that too.

Zoobooks

from: Wildlife Education Ltd


I have been ordering Zoobooks for several years for my grandson. He loves them. When we go for hikes on our city trails or to the zoo, he is always giving me information that he learned in Zobooks on the animals we see. I am fascinated with all the knowledge he has gained from Zoobooks.

Kids Discover

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Kids and Family
from: Kids Discover


I saw an issue of this magazine at the Louisville Science Museum yesterday when Isaiah, who is six, and I spent a rainy day exploring science and inventions. I don't remember what topic the issue covered, but the magazine's focus on science interested Isaiah so I thought about getting him a subscription for Christmas. Of course, as soon as I came home, I went immediately to Amazon's site to hear what other parents thought about it. I was shocked at the number of one-star reviews and clicked on that link in order to see what the problem was. I now know about the heavy-handed collection tactics and apparently deceptive subscription techniques. I have NO interest in becoming ensnared in anything like that. I also appreciated the info about out-of-date information, recycling ... Read More:
