Cricket Print Magazine

Although the target audience is stated to be 8-12 year old, my seven year old is completely fascinated with this magazine. She has thanked me countless times for the subscription and looks forward to each month with anticipation. Not only are the stories lively and entertaining, they are educational as well (I am also learning various things about history and culture that I did not know before!). There is a good mix of fiction and non fiction stories as well as poetry. Since receiving this magazine, I have noticed her excelling more at reading comprehension and her own story writing skills. These reasons are why I believe it is well worth the money and I wll be renewing our subscription for a very long time.

I went on vacation to see my grandkids and this was the first thing my granddaughter brought to me to read. She said she does all the projects and puzzles in the magazine and can't wait for each issue to come so she can do it again.

This is the one magazine both my children and I look forward to every month.We all enjoy reading and discussing the varied and enriching articles. The magazines are thin (no ads) but the content is dense and of finest quality. We have issues from years back which are treasured and reread.

My middle school granddaughter loves this magazine. She shares it with her friends, so it helps more than just one person. She is a straight A student and a leader in her group of friends. This makes a super gift for school kids. I have bought magazine subscriptions for her since she began 1st grade. It trellis a gift that "keeps on giving".

I have been wanting a subscription to this magazine for a long time. The first issue I received had loads of information on theater, and I'm a drama teacher! Perfect! It got used in my middle school classes at the start of this school year. Looking forward to the next issue!

Dear Friends,I renewed the subscription for "Cricket" & "Muse" because my nephews love to receive them. They contain a lot of interesting things that they would never see on TV, thus giving them the edge on their contempories. Yes,these magazines have helped them excel in school, where their knowlege is admired.Sincerely, Kenneth M. Kehoe[...]

Great use of humor and thoughtful articles.

I wanted to enjoy literary essays, stories, and articles, but it seems like every issue I received this last year is packed full of a religious agenda of one variety or another. To be sure, the themes seem to be an eclectic variety of spiritual and cultural mysticism, but the magazine never just leaves it out. It's always a tome espousing some collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence using religious narratives, symbols, and sacred histories or allusions from one or another. Everytime I read it, I feel like I'm being proselytized.
