Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Pure Advertising
Had a year subscription for my kids. This is just blatant advertising - - mostly movies and toys. The real NG-esque content is sparse, if present at all. My boys also have SI for kids which they love, and though it has some advertising, it has way more content.

We will not continue our subscription of NG for kids.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't waste your money on NGK!
I was so excited to order what I thought would be an educational and fun magazine for my son's first magazine subscription. What a waste of money! This is mainly advertising for movies, tv shows, candy, and video games. On top of that it's laid out in a difficult to read format. My son said some of the pages gave him a headache to look at them. I know it did me! After 3 issues I cancelled our subscription.

I am a lifelong "National Geographic" reader - our family has always had a subscription, and last year my father gave us a subscription to National Geographic's "Little Kids" magazine, which is not great but okay. Our daughter liked it, and this year we thought we'd move up to the older "Kids" magazine instead.

The first issue arrived and it was HORRIBLE. Noting but ads, ads, ads, and worse than that they were ads for terrible things like toys and video games and junk food. Obviously, N.G. must have franchised this publication out to a third party, but we were still shocked. It was not what I had expected from a publication that I was raised to respect for its commitment to the outdoors and the natural world. What little original content the magazine provides is also really stupid and poorly laid out. This is not a magazine that respects the minds of the children it is written for.

I immediately ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointed
Never have I bothered reviewing on Amazon, but this was such a disappointment. I hope National Geographic sees these reviews and get's it together. They do such a great job with other publications. I do not recommended this mag.
