Good for pregnant and moms of new babies
I ordered this when I was pregnant and loved it. It has a ton of info for pregnant and new moms! Now that my baby is almost a year old though, I find it less and less helpful. Now I turn to Parents magazine more for information. This magazine is great though for pregnancy and those first 6 months!

The Magazine for Parents of Newborns
American Baby is a monthly magazine dedicated to the challenges of raising a newborn baby. This publication covers facts about babies, like proper nutrition, teething, and other things, along with opinion pieces about young toddlers and infants, such as whether or not to use a pacifier; how to teach certain skills; etc.
Sometimes something glitters in the dust
You will go through issue after issue, wondering if it contains anything beyond `cutesy' photo ops and rehashed articles of things you already knew, and then suddenly they will come up with a gem of an article that will actually add to your parenting portfolio, or knowledge. ... Read more

Geat magazine, too long for delivery
This is a great magazine.My 5 year old son loves it, and is thrilled to be getting his own magazine subscription.He is a beginning reader and the content of this magazine is entirely appropriate for his current learning level.
Best kid's preschool mag I've found!
I am an early childhood specialist and (most importantly) I have a 4 yr old daughter.We BOTH look forward to getting this magazine.I've tried a lot of other magazines but this one really has been the best fit for us.The stories and pictures are great and the interactive puzzles really pique my daughter's interest.The jokes are perfect for her age and really are too cute.My only regret is that it comes only 1x per month!

Cicada
Cicada is the best literature magazine around. It's stylish, refreshing, and just all around great. Includes beautiful poems, uplifting stories, and wonderful non-fiction. It's written partially by readers themselves, who send in their works to get published. This is my all-time favorite magazine, and probably always will be. Whenever I get a Cicada in the mail, I drop everything and read it cover-to-cover right where I am. It's so artsy, creative, and beautiful. The perfect gift for a writer/poet teen-Cicada will inspire, breathe life into, and carry him or her far, far away.

A Great Mix
I've been getting this magazine since freshman year, and I'm only now, as a senior, really beginning to appreciate the mix of stories in every issue. We just finished our short story unit in English class, and I'm now rereading my favorites from the past few years. This magazine is sold as 14+, but some of the stories offer pathways much deeper into the literary world-what comes to mind is James Baldwin's Sonny's Blues paired with Langton Hughes' poem Harlem. I'm now doing a research project on Baldwin, but Sonny's Blues remains one of my favorites of all of his work I've read so far. Cicada is perfect for those years in between children's books and college reading when some teenagers lose interest in reading for pleasure due to required reading for school.

Good for kids to whom Cricket is gotten old hat
This is a preteen/early teen mag. Lots of good writing. Well edited, has some tough stuff as written by kids themselves. It's a good magazine and is argued over for the first reading. ... Read more

Yes, cool, for the modern parent
For $10 a year, at least I can look at a magazine that isn't dominated by SpongeBrand Squarepants or Dora the Commercialized Explorer and that realizes not every parent thinks the Disney Princess pastel hegemony is the only way to go for a nursery.Will I pay $200 for a sweater?Very doubtful, but if I did it would be something I could pass down as an heirloom.True, I may spend more per item on my daughter's clothes and toys than most, but I also limit the number of things she does receive.I'd rather spend $100 on one unique toy I found in Cookie than give her twenty pieces of plastic at $5 a pop from some toy megapolis.Cookie covers quality over quantity, style over branding, modern over mainstream and for that I'm grateful.

LOVE this mag!
Finally a modern parenting magazine! This magazine is great for expectant mothers and mothers with babies or young children. I even enjoy reading it for the information for adults - recommended vacation spots, beauty advice, etc.

not COOL
I have to agree with those who didn't care for it. the only thing I liked was one article written by a Dad who was skateboarding with his son. It was witty, insightful and inspirational. the rest of the mag just seemed totally irrelevent to my life. It is aimed at people who dry-clean their childrens clothes. Does anyone do that? I don't want my kids to be that concerned with clothes and money. the few issues I read made me mad and depressed. I've never written a review before but felt compelled to do so regarding this lame magazine. Give me break with that $400 cashmere hoodie for my son! my son likes his vilified character t-shirts and that is what matters. He is not a reflection of my style, he is a reflection of his own. Get over yourselves! ... Read more

INCREDIBLE MAGAZINE!
I was hesitant at first to spend $29 on a subscription that only sent out four issues a year, but once I received my first issue I was hooked.This magazine is incredible!The pictures of the park from the past and present, articles, and interviews make the E-Ticket magazine a page turner.If you love disneyland you will love this magazine.You can even order past issues in case you want to explore in depth your favorite disneyland attraction.

If you miss old Disneyland
Are you one of those people that go to Disneyland, and sigh wistfully, "I remember when I was young and this attraction wasn't here, and they had this great old ride they tore down"? Well this magazine is for you. A work of love by Disney historians and fans, it catalogs old attractions, shows, and personalities of Disneyland as they were in the 50's and 60's, and shows their progress and change over time. Usually an issue is devoted to one major topic, such as a land like Frontierland, or an attraction like the Mark Twain Riverboat. In that issue you would see and hear from former cast members who designed and operated the attraction. It features pictures of concept art, diagrams, the model, construction photos, and finally the finished attraction as it was then and any changes since opening.
Simply the BEST!
Growing up with Walt's Disneyland, I was hungry for anything relating to the hidden facts and history of this most Magic of Kingdoms. Once I discovered "The 'E' Ticket", it turned out to be everything I had hoped for and more.I imediately subscribed and ordered every back issue, grateful that I have a totally complete set. ("Ticket" is totally subscription supported and accepts NO ADVERTISING!!!)Read more

My daugher looks forward to receiving Chickadee
We started with a subscription to Chirp for my daughter which she loved. Now that she is older, she receives Chickadee. When the magazine comes in the mail, she stops to read it from cover to cover. Well worth it! I now give subscriptions as a gift for birthdays.

It's My Daughter's Favorite!
My daughter has been reading ChickaDee for several years.We generally don't buy magazines, but each time we went to the library, she chose this one from a selection of 20+ others that target children. Because it is one of her favorite things to read, I'm caving-in this year and purchasing it as a Christmas present. ChickaDee is not only educational, but it is highly entertaining and appeals to a nice age-range, particularly for 6 and 7-year-olds who may have outgrown the preschool magazines but are not quite old enough for magazines that target the intermediate grades. As a former teacher, I also recommend this magazine for classroom, silent-reading use.It contains loads of interesting educational content. ... Read more

Great Product for improving your Spanish
I have been a subscriber for four months and I love this magazine. I initially subscribed without the Audio CD but I added the Audio Cd after receiving my first issue.There are about 12 articles each month and I have found this is the perfect length for me.I am able to get through the magazine in a month and it goes along perfectly with the Spanish conversation class I am taking at the community college. I would say my level is 2nd year Spanish and I think this magazine could continue along with me for another two years. They give a suggested use part in the front and I highly recommend following it.If you stick to it you will be surprised at how much you are learning!And you get some cool culture/travel facts by reading the articles that I can't imagine you'd find anywhere else!Buena Suerte!
Good for learning
Increasingly you need to have two or more languages. If your kids are learning spanish, this is helpful.

Very Good for those who've studied some Spanish
If you would like to keep your reading and listening skills up but live in a situation where you do not have frequent chances to do so in real life, this Magazine should be very helpful for you. It covers a wide range of subject materials of all Latin countries, including Spain; the vocabulary improvement with these articles is significant. One word of Caution: I do not think that this magazine is for a brand-new person to Spanish. At least one year of formal Spanish in high school or college would be advisable. I had two years of high school Spanish and two years of University level Spanish and lived the first 30 years of my life in Texas; and yet, I still find this magazine challenging while at the same time very helpful. It also makes a great and unique gift. BE SURE TO BUY THE AUDIO CD ALONG WITH THE PRINTED MAGAZINE; that is more expensive but well worth it!

Teacher of 3 year olds at a Church Daycare
We're doing a theme this week on Nursery Rhythms & I picked up an old Mailbox dated 2000.I found Nursery Rhythms.I jumped at the chance 2 start getting ideas.I found a lamb I can copy 2 do crayon shavings on, an idea on There was an Old Woman who lived in a Shoe & an idea 4 crafts on Humpty Dumpty.There r recipes that u can adapt 4 your age appropriate group.I like the pages u can tear out.I need more ideas 4 my centers & would like a suggestion on any MAAILBOX thatcould help.My centers are Lego Land, Crafts, Library & Puzzle, Opening Center, Kitchen Center with a salon.I'd like 2 c some Bible stories relating 2 things on the outside cover of the issue.Being a preschool teacher at a Church daycare would really b of great assistance.I was wondering if this could start a.s.a.p.I would like 2 receive a free issue of PRESCHOOL.Thank u so much 4 taking your time 2 give ideas 4 teachers that want 2 do their best.With our society as rushed as it is it's nice 2 know that MAILBOX can assist in making teacher's lesson plans a whole lot less time consuming.I've picked up a lot of academic ideas that the students need 2 learn before they reach Kindergarten.Thank u again.

Mailbox - Preschool Ed. Magazine Review
As an early childhool special education preschool teacher, this is the one professional resource magazine I would not be without!There are tons of useful & practical ideas in each issue, especially if you teach using thematic units.If you subscribe, you also get access to the Mailbox Online, while is also a wonderful resource on the web that is updated frequently. The web site is a real time-saver for me. ... Read more

Child Rearing Advice
Child is one of several different parenting magazines that I read/skim through on a regular basis as I look for new and interesting facts and ideas on raising young children. This magazine covers mostly the early years of child growth and development, from birth and on up, with a few articles aimed at kids as old as eleven or twelve years of age.
Worst magazine of this genre
This magazine consistently encourages parents to spend more than $100 on babya outfits, etc. It is not a magazine for most of America, but rather for the elite, or those who wish to pretend they are. There are way too many ads, and insignificant articles. Parents magazine is hands down the winner in this category.

Okay.......but PARENTS is better
[...] I got a choice of a free subscription to either Parents or Child magazine. Since I already got Parents, I chose Child. I will not be renewing when my free subscription is up. The magazine is boring, the articles irrelevant and there are too many kids fashion pages. If you want a magazine about parenting/kids, go with Parents. ... Read more

NIck JR Magazine
I have a 41/2 year old granddaughter and bought it for her, it turns out it is not really for kids and her mom is reading thru it instead.So just letting you know this is not a KIDS magazine even if it is called Nick JR

very good magazine
My daughter's preschool gave me one of these magazines to look thru for a few days - to see what I and other parents thought. I couldn't believe what a great magazine it was. The pull-out section for the kids has no ads and it is so much fun - much better then the Sesame Street one that came with the Parenting magazines.I also enjoy this magazine very much as it completely relates to preschoolers to 1st grade, not babies or older kids. As a mother of only 1 child (4yrs old) so far, I find lots of basic parenting magazines about 80% useless to me as most of it is geared towards babies and have so many stages.This one has perfect recipes, crafts and articles geared towards my daughters age and for myself as well.Lots of pictures to explain how to encourage them in the recipes/baking and arts too - not just lists of what you need and then writing of what to do. Very nice!I read it all from front to back and ordered a year subscription on the spot. The teacher said most parents who have looked thru it are as well.To the poster who only gave it 3 starts due to her 6 yr old stating it is boring after liking it for a year, it is Nick Jr, so it is geared towards 2-6yrs old. She probably is just moving on from it. For all moms out there with kids this age, you will enjoy it. Highly recommend.

It used to be fun, but now she's disappointed
This is a great magazine for parents of infant or preschool age children.

Jack and Jill
For kids between the ages of seven to ten who like reading jokes and doing puzzles.It is only published eight times a year, but on the upside there is no advertising.
Excellent Articles, Stories, Definitely Recommend!
This is a very stimulating magazine for my first grader!I definitely recommend it because it has fun activities and stories, along with NO advertisements or useless filler.I am extremely happy when it arrives because we both sit down and like to read the stories together and he likes the activities they come with a whole lot!He also gets US Kids, and Children's Playmate but I think that Jack and Jill is his favorite. ...

Neopets Magazine rocks!
I don't have it yet but I want it! I've read the magazine at [...], I really didn't know much about neopets neither neopets trading card. But now I'm older and signed up with neopets. If you don't want to buy the neopets magazine you can go toneopets offical magazine website and inside the magazine(website beckett.com/neopets)but you don't see the ads and skips some pages that the real neopets magazine has. If you haven't signed up with neopets sign up NOW! The website is neopets.com. It's the best! Neopets has games, contests you can enter,you can chat with Neofriends you meet on Neopets,.com( Parents if you don't want your childern chatting with other kids, Please tell you childern!)but in order to chat with other people and do other stuff on neopets.com you need to let your parents, kids to sign it and mail it to neopets. Have a nice day!

"Pleased with my Neopet Magazine"!!!
Hi Guy's, I know these magazines are expensive,yes there is alot of adds!But to be honest with you adds are how I end up finding things I wouldn't have found else where!I really like the magazine. I'm probably newer to the "Neopet" seen then the rest of you, but I like the articles. I find them amuzing. I really "DO THINK THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH"!!! I think they could lower the price. Let's face it, the magazine is geered toward the kid's. But I still like it, but then again I guess I'll never grow up. Another thing. This is the only place that I know of that shows what cards are in what set,and what I'm looking for
yes no maby so
i love nopets

Great Magazine for Dog-Loving Children
We just got our first issue of Dogs for Kids last week and I love it!I got it for my 11 1/2 year old son, who loves dogs and has said he wants to be a vet since the age of two.We have four dogs of our own.The articles are very interesting and cover everything from information on different breeds to how to train them and coping after the loss of a beloved pet.I was especially touched by the tips on how to deal with such a loss.The only thing I wasn't thrilled with was the ads for pure bred dogs in the back, as well as the so-called "designer Labradoodles".There are enough dogs in shelters that need to be rescued and placed in forever-homes.This is a magazine I think I will enjoy reading as much as my children!

Terrible service
I bought "dougs for kids" for my niece, but by buying it through the feature "one click", it went into my address without being able to change it to my niece's. I tried to correct it by emailing Amazon (you cannot contact them by phone, which is terrible). I received an answer saying that I had to wait until I got the confirmation from the vendor (apparently not Amazon - anaother terrible aspect). I never received such email. The other day I got the magazine in the mail.... and called their publisher.... didn't have the sales data, so had to call somebody else. Finally, after speaking to three people, a nice lady took my case and say she would investigate.
Fun but can be better
I liked this magazine because it will talk about what kids can do with dogs, there are contest, and good pictures.But I think it is also very basic and can do better ... Read more

exhausted
I was clearly influenced to purchase this subscription by the "auesome" review below. However, my breath expired at the half-way mark due to a complete lack of punctuation. Now I will be unable to ascertain the full impact of this rather worryingly written "review". Forget Mad Kids and obtain "Fundamentals of Better Writing" instead. You can thank me later.

Beware! This is only a FOUR issue subscription!
My son loves the first Mad for Kids (he gets the older MAD version now)--but when we went to subscribe, we saw that it was only for quarterly editions. It's a fun magazine, just know that when you order, it won't come every month.
auesome!!!
omg this mag is so auesome its like mad but for kids well duh its called mad kids but no cussingall that mite be bad is some gross jokes like wallace and vomit and some ppl mite be offended of a comic of a kid that always dies butseriously thats not bad unless ur to over protective ages 6-11 its aimed for and i get the jokes more than regular mad and easier to read comics i know how to read but mad has comic bubbles in weird places so u kno wat i mean so i reccomend u to buy this mag full of laughsits better than nick mag thanx mad for coming out wit a magizine just for kids cuz my parents sometimes wouldnt let me buy mad due to some nudity or overused cussing now i can buy every issue of this cuz no nudity or cussing the bad thing tho is this mag only comes out 4 times a year for rite now well it just started tocome out icant wait for #2 coming out in febuary ...
