 Highlights for Children, better than I remember! February 10, 2003

I was so excited to find this title on Amazon.com! My kids love this magazine and it's even more fun than when I was little. I still see this in all the doctor offices and now we can have our own copy at home! My children's teachers have recommended this to supplement their reading curriculum. My kids don't sem to notice that they are learning since they are having so much fun. I'll be glad to turn off the TV, the advertisements, and the games each month when my issue arrives. Thanks Highlights!
Gallant Always Orders Magazines for His Children January 6, 2006

Highlights magazine is the New Yorker of children's literature. Following that analogy, the Nickelodean Magazine or Disney Princess might be the In Touch Weekly's of children's lit. Highlights may at times feel outdated and stale (as might the New Yorker), but overall the quality is consistent and there is plenty to enjoy. The Hidden Picture puzzle alone is worth the price. If you only know the magazine from schools and doctor's waiting rooms from your childhood, you might not have had the chance to see a pristine Hidden Picture puzzle. The pictures end up getting marked up by kids with poor impulse control and listless parents, the future sociopaths of America, who evidently did not absorb any lessons first from Goofus and Gallant. With Highlights you get no advertising, no slick pandering your children, and you get stories, puzzles, projects, poems, and those lovable Timbertoes.
It's also good just to get magazines for kids in the mail. I find it to be a nice way to encourage reading in my family. Nothing cuter than going through the mail with the kids after which everyone sits down together, in earnest, and flips through their magazine.

I remember reading Highlights in school and in doctors' waiting rooms when I was a little girl. I believe it is as good today as it was then, and I am impressed that the quality has remained consistent throughout the years. Highlights today has the same kinds of puzzles, crafts, hidden pictures, games, and stories that I enjoyed as a child. The puzzles and games are challenging but not frustrating. And I can't stop smiling when reading the stories. This is great for all ages of kids at heart and, of course, for kids to have fun while learning.

60 Years of Fun and Still Going... June 7, 2006

My kids love Highlights! It's applicable to both of their age ranges (6 and 9) and is a valuable investment for any parent. I don't know what I would do without this magazine; it keeps them entertained at restaurants and while we travel in the car. Not to mention, it's much cheaper than investing in portable gadgets that are out of date every few months.
The highlight of recent trip to hospital. October 8, 2006

Recently my family was visiting a relative in the hospital. I spotted the 60th anniversary issue of Highlights for Children. In perusing it I noted how the magazine's style and format had evolved over the years. In showing the magazine to my [...] year old daughter, I realized that Higlights appeal to children had not waned since I was a kid. My daughter simply adored it. She especially liked the riddles. She has asked us to get a subscription, which we will gladly oblige her with come Christmas.
