Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

What a DISAPPOINTMENT. I previously ordered "Ask" from the same company and am very pleased and have renewed that subscription. I wanted something else for another child. "Spider" looked like a good choice - WRONG. The first issue recently arrived. The first story had characters calling things stupid and dumb. The child I ordered it for asked if those weren't bad words. I tried to make light of it saying that it was calling things not people those words, and hoped that things improved. In the second story one charater completely controls another, having him do mean and dangerous things. At one point character one tells character two to go up to a man walking down the street and tell him "he's ugly as anything and his girlfriend looks like a flea". Character two does as told. We read no further and I cancelled the subscription. When telling the magazine that I was cancelling because it was inappropriate and a disappointment, I was never asked why. That led me to believe that they don't care and that there is no chance of improvement so I am writing here in hopes of helping someone else avoid my experience.
