Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Too many adverts: National Geographic should be embarrassed!
I'm giving this 2 (versus 1) stars because my daughter likes it (her aunt bought it for her). There are jokes and maybe a few puzzles. And a hidden article or two. But, I cannot overemphasize how many ads this has---and they aren't that distinguishable from the main text, either. We deliberately keep her away from Disney channel and shows with commercials, and yet suddenly at dinner she will start discussing a movie or toy we have not even heard of. Where did she get the info.? National Geographic. She ADORES Ranger Rick, and if there were more like it, we'd sign her right up. Too bad NG can't clean up their act. They should be giving this one away free.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - kids magazine
Grandkids love this magazine and read all the articles. They anxiously await the next issue. Great learning tool.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Advertising in the form of a magazine
We received our first issue of National Geographic Kids today and promptly cancelled it the same day. I didn't even want my son to see it. Not only is it filled with advertising but the "science" articles are unsophisticated and tabloid-ish. I wish we had read the reviews before ordering. We assumed that this would be comparable to World Magazine and were terribly wrong.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Magazine
I have been using National Geographic Kids with my 3rd grade students for about a year now. We always find something very cool and interesting in each issue. I am thrilled to find something that gets them excited and has them reading.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome Magazine, Forward-Looking, Educational, Cool and Fun
I was shocked to see so many bad reviews for this magazine! My 8 year old daughter and I love this magazine - in fact I'm in the process of renewing it! I couldn't believe these people said "fraught" with ads. I went and got my Cat issue to see. I didn't remember seeing any ads - maybe I'm blind to them. But we don't have a t.v. Wonder how many of these parents let their kids watch t.v.??? Behind the cover page, before the table of contents, there's an ad for new Hubba Bubba Gum, then there's an ad for a really cute white fluffy Build a Bear Workshop for $5 off, there's an ad for Dinosaur King Rule the World game (picture of a world map with dinosaurs), there is a sidebar ad for the book Holes, an ad for Crest, an ad for some new Nintendo or Wii game or something Mushroom Men I guess, sidebar ad for the book Eve of Emporer's Penguins, sidebar ad for the book Crossroads, and on the back cover is an ad for a new Disney show (The Suite Deck). The ads are not inappropriate nor intrusive. That makes 9 ads in 45 pages (including cover as pages since there's content and an ad.) Out of these 9, three are for books, one is for toothpaste. Hardly detrimental. And well, the soft white fluffy teddy bear is too cute to leave out. Ok, I could do without the bubble gum ad and the two Nintendo ads, and since we don't have a t.v the Disney show means nothing to us. BUT when we read this - we were blind to the ads. Honestly, they are not intrusive at the least. And please...how many ads do your kids see on t.v.???? And your kids are not dumb. They should know an ad is an ad is an ad. They should know it's someone trying to sell something if they're old enough to look at this magazine, and especially if they're old enough to read it. The articles are complete 21st century kid oriented - fun futuristic science stuff..always interesting animal stories (animal lovers will LOVE this magazine)..jokes..etc...this magazine is for today's kid that finds Highlights and literary magazines incredibly boring. An avid reader may find it short, but so interesting they will still love it. (Quality, not quantity.) Additionally, the reluctant reader will love it because everything is in "snippets" so it's easy to read all or some without a kid feeling like they have to sit down with a whole article. The kids will be reading and learning to grow up with a forward-looking mind, realizing nothing is impossible. It is a lively, colorful magazine. We get National Geographic and National Geographic Kids, we have tons of National Geographic movies so I know their quality. And as a mother ... Read More
