This would be a great gift for a family with various ages of young children. Through these, children will learn language, vocabulary, letters, counting, geography (where animals are from) and much more. They are written in a developmentally appropriate language; they are interesting for young children and can teach children to appreciate animals. – National Parenting Product Awards

We love learning about animals! It’s exciting for the kids to get their magazine in the mail each month. My kids get the magazine and now we give subscriptions as gifts.

Great magazine. I read it when I was little and am glad my son can enjoy it now.

Every issue delivers amazing wildlife photography that reveals the marvels of the natural world, outdoor adventures and discoveries with projects that foster environmental awareness, expert answers to readers’ questions about plants, animals, and the wilderness, and puzzles, games, stories, comics, and more — all full of learning fun! – Mom’s Choice Awards

I’m very excited for both my kids to receive an age appropriate magazine that they can browse through. I appreciate that this subscription is offered and at a great price. I am looking forward to my kids having a fun time learning new things with their magazines!

This long-running science magazine is geared toward elementary schoolers and filled with photographs and stories about animals. Kids rescuing animals, animals in your backyard, animal families, you name it. And in each issue, a cartoon Ranger Rick sets off on an adventure, with the comic strip highlighting how humans are impacting wildlife. – Ellen Lee with Wirecutter

My niece and nephew love this magazine. They read the same one over and over again and can’t wait for the next one to arrive. The pictures are so engaging, even for pre-readers Ranger Rick is awesome.
