Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best literary children's publication. period.I chose this to replace Mamaw's annual National Geographic for Kids subscription. That magazine seemed to be mostly advertising with little bulk, and it was pieced together for a wide audience. I love Cricket for my well read[...].

Then I noticed something that I did not like. Most of the stories were about little boys, doing cool activities. The girls were always passive. They were either the King's daughter, or helping mommy. Yawn. Ironically, most of the stories were written by women. They had all kinds of excuses when I wrote them. Always in denial. If you have a daughter, I still recommend ...
