Though technically not books, many, many hours of our reading before naptime & bedtime have been consumed by these great magazines. First of all, the kids love the fact that something has arrived in the mail just for them. Second of all, they love to collect them – I’m pretty sure they haven’t thrown away a single issue.

Here’s a list of our current favorites:
Wild Animal Baby: Brought to you by the same people who do My Big Backyard and Ranger Rick, Wild Animal Baby features sturdy pages for little hands coupled with great images of animals (not just illustrations), poems and activities.
High Five: the precursor to Highlights magazine – Harper particularly loves the eye spy page and the stories of the Timbertoes’ pets
Highlights: This one’s been around a long time! I used to read these…just like Cole does now.
Zoobooks: Most definitely Cole’s favorite – these magazines are so informative and filled with awesome images and facts.
Ladybug & Spider: We just got our first issues of these yesterday – I’m excited to dive into them because the emphasis is all on reading.

Which magazines do your kids read? I’d love to hear about them, too!
