Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My elementary age kids are just beginning to understand the larger scope of the world and human history. While in the process of looking for good magazines about current events I came across Dig. I signed up for a subscription in hopes that it would help my kids get that better understanding of the world. We've been quite pleased with it. In that process of looking for good kids magazines we tried out a bunch of them, and got subscriptions to most. Here's my quick quick rundown Kids Discover: heavy on pictures, light on words. The articles tend to be little snippets and factoids without context or much explanation. National Geographic Kids: heavy on the pictures, light on the words. Articles are a bit more in depth than Kids Discover. Time for Kids: Thin and a bit flimsy, but comes frequently (every two weeks?) and covers major current events pretty well. Different versions are available for different ages. Order it from the Time for Kids web site since Amazon doesn't seem to carry it. Ask and Muse: In depth interesting articles addressing all sorts of thoughtful topics. Probably best for middle school and/or more thoughtful kids. Dig: In depth interesting articles addressing history under the guise of archeology. Probably best for late elementary and middle school, and/or more thoughtful kids.
