I used to love magazines! My kids and I would greet each new-come publication with enthusiasm, often leafing through the pages right away to look at the pictures, always looking forward to the reading session that night.
At bedtime, I would read one article from each of our magazines before diving into whatever novel served as our current bedtime story. We subscribed to at least one magazine about animals or life science—such as ZooBooks or Ranger Rick—and one primarily about physical science—such as Kids Discover. We loved National Geographic Kids and New Moon, a magazine by, for, and about girls. American Girl magazine always had articles about history. In any given year we would subscribe to four or five different magazines, and on any given night we would be read from three or four of them!
