Storyworks
My students love storyworks! It has many great learning opportunities. I use it in my reading centers in my classroom. The kids think they are enjoying a great magazine (they are), but they are learning and reinforcing skills--poetry, fiction, nonfiction, writing skills, and more. The teacher's edition has lesson plans already done for you! ... Read more

Just what you are looking for
This newspaper has everything that a busy Catholic mom is looking for.It gives news blips from around the world, great general interest articles, sections on the culture of life, movie reviews, parenting and marriage advice and calendars for events in your region.It has everything that would normally take three newspapers worth of reading to find.Mine comes every Saturday morning, and is in the Church hall being recycled to other Catholics by Sunday morning.It is run by the LCs (which I think are an awesome order) but even what they report about themselves is unbiased and very factual in every way!

The Rest of the Story
John Paul II was a name that made news, even to the point of Time-Life printing a special book about him (which was quite good). He was so popular that you'd think he was a US president so often did the news misquote him. The news, assuming that the millions of Catholics don't listen to the pope anyway, instead found that they don't give a fig what the news says about him. What they do care about is what the pope actually says (if only to have the chance to disagree), and are naturally dismayed when the paper is filled with reams of commentary on speeches they don't actually reprint.
It's the Regnum Christi/Legion of Christ paper
Although this info is not made obvious, this newspaper is published by RC/Legion of Christ, an organizaton which is controversial among Catholics for various reasons. If you're looking for a general news Catholic publication, I suggest you keep looking. ... Read more

Depends upon writing team
It's difficult to rate a comic book series since the title changes as the writing and art teams change.Batman has been around since the 1930's and has had probably hundreds of writers and artists.At this point the team is pretty good.They have updated old villians (and taken the step of killing off some of them) as well as introducing some good new characters.Yes, the title is very dark.All of the titles in the Bat family have been like this since Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns in the mid-1980's.The relentless darkness and grittiness does tend to wear thin at times, and it sometimes feels like the writers enjoy torturing Batman a bit too much.I wouldn't mind if they lightened it a bit.The title is violent, but also generally has good character development and tends to have lots of multi-issue arcs.The supporting cast is good, and the title takes place in a deep, rich world.
Are comics for kids?
The only other review that was posted gave this subscription 1 star. I'm 33 and have been reading comics for the better part of 21 years. When most people think about comics they think of the old 60's Batman television show or the horrendously campy movies in the 90's. Comic's, as a medium, as so much more.
NOT FOR CHILDREN (OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER)!
This "comic" book is filled from cover to cover with blood, weapons, graphic violent language ("Really dead, I'll be wearing his skin as a shirt kind of dead..."), scary monsterous drawings, people being shot in the head, etc.I ordered this subscription for my 8 year old nephew who waited 10 weeks for his first issue.When it came we were horrified!I canceled the subscription and demanded a full refund.Don't buy this for anyone not in their teens (and think twice before buying it at all).One star is required to post a review, but not worthy of ANY stars. ...

Pure Nostalgia
My dad used to get me these back when I was a kid, and I would read them with my mother (and at times with my dad) on various occasions. I remember liking them and now going through a very nostalgic period in my life almost wishing I still had all my back issues.
Not a Good Choice
My 3-year and I are not impressed with this magazine. There are no bright colors or fun activities to keep her attention. It is way overpriced for the length and content. I agree with a reviewer below...it is basically the content of the dollar store puzzle books, but a lot less...just pick up a couple of dollar store preschool books and save the money.

Glorified coloring book
Disclosure:I'm writing this review on the basis of one issue only, but I don't imagine that the magazine is typically any better than this.

It's not worth it
This was my first time with fit pregnancy and was very suprised to find only a few pages of actual fitness.I'm very into keeping fit while I'm pregnant and I fel that this magazine did not help me with finding other types of workouts.Maybe I should write my own magazine since all of what they tell you in the articles is stuff that I already know.The name of this magazine should be Fit Pegnancy 101.

Ok magazine but HORRIBLE subscription service
I have finally received my first issue of Fit Pregnancy. I think the magazine is ok, I would say it's pretty good except it's a bi-monthly so I expected it to have a bit less "fluff" and a bit more actual info, tips and articles. Let's say the Magazine itself deserves 3-4 stars.
The magazine is good but have had subscription probs ......
The content of the magazine is good and I enjoy reading it. The trouble is I ordered this magazine on May 23, 2005.The status of my account is:

Raising Arizona is a Must for Every Parent
I have found Raising Arizona Kids not only informative on what activities are going on in town but also for a day trip or weekend getaway.In addition, the articles and advice on raising children of all ages has been extremely helpful to me as a working mother and to my friends who are stay-at-home moms. Every parent can grow right along with their child with the help of Raising Arizona Kids. I have learned so much about what to expect from my children at every milestone and how to better deal with their growing needs.Every month's issue is packed with incredible information and fun ideas. Don't spend another day as a parent without this magazine! ... Read more
