Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Pure Advertising
Had a year subscription for my kids. This is just blatant advertising - - mostly movies and toys. The real NG-esque content is sparse, if present at all. My boys also have SI for kids which they love, and though it has some advertising, it has way more content.

We will not continue our subscription of NG for kids.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't waste your money on NGK!
I was so excited to order what I thought would be an educational and fun magazine for my son's first magazine subscription. What a waste of money! This is mainly advertising for movies, tv shows, candy, and video games. On top of that it's laid out in a difficult to read format. My son said some of the pages gave him a headache to look at them. I know it did me! After 3 issues I cancelled our subscription.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Absolutely horrible!! Big disappointment.
I am a lifelong "National Geographic" reader - our family has always had a subscription, and last year my father gave us a subscription to National Geographic's "Little Kids" magazine, which is not great but okay. Our daughter liked it, and this year we thought we'd move up to the older "Kids" magazine instead.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointed
Never have I bothered reviewing on Amazon, but this was such a disappointment. I hope National Geographic sees these reviews and get's it together. They do such a great job with other publications. I do not recommended this mag.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Too much advertising!
If you are interested in your kids wanting more stuff, National Geographic kids is just the one for you. I don't bother to tell my kids it came in the mail. I just recycle it. My Big Backyard is a wonderful option for young kids.
