Love it for my 2 year old!
This is so adorable. I subscribed for my 2 year old and I went through it with her a little worried all she would get out of it was looking at pictures (which are great on their own) but she actually really enjoyed listening to me describe everything to her. I would read the short articles to her and then I would summarize them in a simpler way. She'll point out "ears!" "nose!" "monkey!" "baby monkey...mommy monkey!" and she'll ask questions, "they're drinking water?" "they're playing?" It's so much fun for her and for me and my husband to go through it with her. After reading about elephants in one of them I asked her if she wanted to watch a video on elephants and I found one on youtube and so she watched a short video on it. I thought it was a nice way to supplement what she learned and get her excited to learn about nature. I plan on continuing that way when the other editions arrive.
Also, there are little animal cards with bits of information attached in each magazine that she can collect. She's looking forward to the next one already.
I will say that the magazines are not delivered in a plastic bag. They are taped together on the edges with stickers and you need to be careful opening it. Slice it with a letter opener or knife because you can damage it otherwise. They arrive a little scuffed, not in pristine condition, but i suppose it's better for the environment than using plastic and might also be cost saving.
