Magazines
Carus Publishing puts out the absolute best magazines -- beautifully illustrated and loaded with wonderful stories, articles, poems, and activities. I credit my subscription to <em>Cricket</em> with inspiring my lifelong love of literature and folktales (thanks, mom!).

These magazines are smart, educational, often funny, and downright gorgeous, without any of the fluff and celebrity worship of typical kids' magazines. And since Carus publishes magazines for everyone from newborns (to be read by parents to their children, obviously) to older teens, you can give your children years and years of fascinating reading.
