 Great Magazine for Toddlers November 20, 2002
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I got this as a gift for my daughter's first birthday and she has loved every issue. We have read them all over and over again. She is now 19 months old and continues to get excited when a new issue arrives. We spend days reading and re-reading it. The only downfall I have found is that while the boardbook style is great, it is possible with alot of use for the pages to come out of the binding. This is easily fixed with some clear tape.
Good pick for the 2-3 year olds October 21, 2002

I think this is a very nice magazine selection for under 3 year olds. Lots of nice pictures and always some nice information to learn about animals. There are suggestions for songs and activities too which is nice. I bring all the issues with me on trips and they always entertain my 2 year old. The harder than usual pages of the magazine make the magazine hold up longer.
Toddler loves this magazine! July 24, 2002

Our 18 month old loves Wild Animal Baby. She gets excited when she receives her very own magazine. We usually save it for the car, where she can flip through the sturdy pages and "read" it herself. Some sections are a little advanced for her, but she'll grow into it.
Excellent Magazine July 16, 2002

This magazine is excellent for children. I bought it for my son when he turned 1 year. He wasn't too interested at first (he's very active, but then at about 18 months, he started to enjoy it. We go over the pictures and read the stories together. He likes the fact that this is "his" magazine and that it comes through the mail. I agree with one of the comments above that a first grader can read it too while he/she is learning how to read. I am a first grade teacher and I was thinking of using the magazine with my students for guided reading. I also have been giving it as a gift to my friends' kids.
 Excellent introduction to wildlife for the very young December 21, 2001

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.
