 Our favorite kids magazine! April 29, 2008
We have been getting this magazine for over 3 years and absolutely love it! Our kids are 10, 8, & 6 and it's very age appropriate for them. The 6 year old is just starting to read but loves all the wonderful pictures. The kids can't wait to see what the topic will be each month. They learn so much from this magazine and quite honestly their father and I do too!
This is a very high quality magazine I would recommend for all children.
 Ok magazine, bad customer service March 7, 2008

The magazine is very thin, it is pretty factual, no interesting comments for kids. I would rather order National Geography for Kids. Much better!
First couple issues were missing, customer service won't send reimbursement issues unless another year is renewed.

Mi children love this magazine and it has helped them learn a lot about various topics. It is clearly written and the illustrations are great. Another plus is that it has no advertising. We especially enjoyed the one about nutrition and bugs.

Our family loves this magazine! I highly recommend this magazine.
It is not cheap, but every page is color glossy. That is an asset which justifies the expense. We are a homeschooling family and have used the issues in unit studies and just for enjoyable reading.
They didn't repeat any issues until 2007 which surprised me, however, they did tack on a free year to my subscription. We were able to bless other families with our duplicate issues.
The company has been friendly when I've called them. Once was about past issues and the other was about a missing issue. I received both items quickly. I gave this subscription to my nephew and he had no problems. I was late in renewing two different years and called to make them retroactive a month later. No problems at all.
We like them well enough that we have A-Z file dividers in the filing cabinet and our years of issues are filed. We have loaned out issues to various friends/family.
My only complaints are:
*Occasional evolutionary content, although it has been used to educate our sons.
*I can't get the past issues from the early 90's.
An Informative Magazine With Great Visual Design -- For Kids January 4, 2008

We ordered this mag sight unseen 2 years ago and have renewed since. It is thin but is packed with quality information and not ads. My husband and I like that each issue has a different theme that is so varied month-to-month. Content is not text alone. Photos, charts, and graphic timelines really make the information easy to enjoy. One month might be all about the "Solar System" or the human "Brain" and then a new issue focuses on a historical theme like "Ancient Persia." My older child, who has no interest in Disney princesses was wowed by the most recent issue titled "Kings & Queens." We read them ourselves for a quick review and keep them on the bookshelf for future reference.
