Excellent introduction to wildlife for the very young
This is a board-book style magazine published by the National Wildlife Federation. (The same organization that publishes Ranger Rick). I subscribed my daughter to this board magazine when she was about 18 months old. She is now 3, but she still likes her magazine and is thrilled when she receives it in the mail. (I intend to replace her current subscription with a subscription for My Big Backyard, intended for 3-7 year olds). She likes the board book size and the thick pages. The front of each issue has a cute picture of a baby animal. Each issue has an "Out and About with Duffy" story. In these stories, Duffy, a white dog, and his human family, siblings Tess and Tommy and their parents, carry out some outdoor activity. There are fingerplays, matching and counting activities. There is a wild animal section that features a specific letter of the alphabet. The "stories" are just the right length to hold the attention of a young toddler. My daughter has a lot of fun trying to find "Sammy the Skunk", who is hidden in 4 different pictures throughout the magazine. Wild Animal Baby is colorful and has excellent pictures of wildlife. It has a little less reading content than Babybug, another excellent board-book type magazine for young children, which is published by the Cricket Magazine Group (Babybug is not about animals, (...)). I recommend Wild Animal Baby for any young toddler, or any very active toddler with a short attention span. If you are looking for quality reading material that you can share with your young child, and you can afford it, I recommend you also try to subscribe to Babybug, or at least borrow the issues from a library.

Wonderful Magazine, well worth the price!
I often think NWF is making a mistake when advertising this as for children ages 1-3, because my child continued to enjoy it through first grade (during which time she was learning to read). It was something that came to her in her own name in the mail, was at her reading ability, and, at first grade, still interested her as far as the subject matter was concerned. Now that she is a third grader, she still is willing to read it to her little sister.
At 1.5 years, a child enjoys the great photos, but is still too young to grasp all the fun games. We have tried many children's magazines, but for up through first grade, this is really the best. I give it as gifts, especially to families with more than one child under the age of 7.

A Great Toddler Magazine For Your Animal Lover!!!
We ordered this magazine for our son when he was one year old because he loves photographs of animals. This magazine is so cute. Each month they feature a baby animal with real photographs and a short story. The issues also include an animal fingerplay, an animal comparison (Showing your child how a particular animal is similar in one way to him or herself.), a short story about a child and his or her pet, and a picture hunt for a little skunk that is hidden four places in the magazine. Other material changes each month and feature an early childhood concept. Some months you will have counting, other months focus on a beginning sound (and all the animals that start with that sound), opposites, and other skills are introduced. What a great introduction to magazines. A must for every toddler that is an animal lover. My son is now 17 months and will bring his Wild Animal Baby magazine to me and sit in my lap wanted it to be read over and over.

Another plus to this magazine is that it is small for little hands (about board book size). The corners are rounded and the pages are sturdy (but not as thick as board book pages). The magazine is also glue bound so you don't have to worry about a curious toddler and staples.
