Jack & Jill
I got my nine-year-old niece a subscription to Jack and Jill last Christmas, and she loved getting it in the mail every other month. She really liked the fun short stories and even took an interest in cooking and gotten more involved with her mother in the kitchen thanks to the easy-to-make recipes. Of course I renewed the subscription this year as well. What an easy way to remain favorite Uncle all year round.Jack and Jill came highly recommended to me by a friend. Although new to the magazine, we are very impressed by the clear and thoughtful content. This magazine should be on the must-buy gift list for all the young people in your life.This is a great magazine! There are interesting articles, fun things to do, and opportunities for kids to enter their artwork for a chance to be published on the cover! They also publish short stories written by kids. I really like that they encourage the creative side of children as well as inform and challenge the intellectual side. The regular cast of kid characters (Jack, Jill, and the others) are a diverse group that children can identify with. I would recommend this magazine.I remember receiving Jack & Jill when I was a child so was very excited to learn it was still around! I bought subscriptions for my pre-teen nieces and nephews and was worried how they would like it since it wasn't electronic. They LOVE the magazine! In fact they are both entering the art contest that the magazine puts on every year!I got this for my niece. Since it takes so loooong for the subscription to start (that's the one drawback to getting subscriptions docking on star for that) I can't comment on her reaction yet. However, from what I've seen of the magazine, I like that it features a mix nonfiction articles, short stories, poems, games, comics, recipes and crafts as well as kid-created content.
