Nayu's thoughts
This
is an incredible new-ish magazine (as of last year because I managed to bury
it in my review list. Thankfully I have a better method of keeping up
to date!) which is perfect for children because there are
absolutely no ads! Zilch! None! I think ad free is the way to go
because it removes the temptation for readers to want things which
their families may not be able to afford. It's more like having a
compendium of stories than a magazine.
With
colour pictures, aside from the occasionally odd illustration which
looks as though the creatures are deformed in the eye department
(something my family noticed and commented on in issue 1), there are
different styles of art and narrative to suit readers of every taste.
There are short stories, some which will be continued, some which are
familiar and some which are totally new. The range is impressive, and
they are certainly ones readers will happily go back to, maybe for a
re-read before the next issue comes out, or simply because the
stories are of a high quality. I most definitely recommend this for
readers of all ages!
