Best literary children's publication. period.:

I chose this to replace Mamaw's annual National Geographic for Kids subscription. That magazine seemed to be mostly advertising with little bulk, and it was pieced together for a wide audience.
I love Cricket for my well read[...]. He usually plows through everything he reads, then discards it. BUT, with Cricket he keeps it and re-reads it. I also love how it's written at above his reading level, so he requires a dictionary at times.

Never Delivered!:

I ordered multiple gift subscriptions for Christmas 2008. I also ordered Ranger Rick. None of my amazon subscriptions were ever delivered.

BEST Part of My Childhood!:

Cricket magazine contains high quality short stories for children. They do a great job of defining a theme for each issue and tying several stories to it. They also do a great job at exposing young people to different cultures and ideas in a very mature way.

Knowledge for a lifetime:

My father bought me this magazine when I was about eight or nine and I don't think I put it down until high school. Cricket mixes history, poetry, literature, artwork and creativity into an easy to read magazine for any child who needs to be encouraged to read. I will buy these for my children without hesitation. I hope that their lives will be as enriched as mine was by Cricket.
