- Miles of Magazines: Kids, like Adults, Find Magazines Irresistible. but with so Many to Choose From, Which Ones Are Worth Having? Patron, Susan Periodicals Library Materials Libraries Children Library Services Childrens Literature There's no doubt about it: magazines can be a nuisance. They're easy to rip off, flimsy, and costly. The dogeared, thumb-smudged pages, missing subscription cards, and already-solved crossword puzzles and mazes (completed confidently in ink!) are sure signs that kids find magazines irresistible. Young children and teens love to flip casually through their pages, attracted by the kid-appealing topics and glossy images. For some children, magazines may be the only way they learn about current events. There's also a more subtle reason why libraries should offer young patrons a wide-ranging magazine collection, covering everything from health and personal advice to art and academic interests. This article contains a compilation of more than 50 magazines for mostly toddlers through 11-year-olds--including dozens of publications that are essential to almost any well-rounded school or public library collection. Most of these magazines offer clever, interactive puzzles and teasers, as well as companion Web sites. And many have no ads, or commercial content, unless otherwise indicated. Those titles preceded by a star are highly recommended.
