Rating: - Not as good as it could be
I started subscribing to this when my daughter was 2 and renewed with a 2 year subscription. So, I do like it. But I was expecting something more along the lines of the big kids Highlights.

Rating: - age appropriate activities
I was vwey disappointed with my first issue. There aren't any activities that my 5 year old can do alone. I expected this magazine to be something I could give her to keep her busy but instead it is something we have to do together.
