Geared toward: pre-teen girls
This magazine is a great way to get the pre-teen age girls reading. It is packed with advice, crafts, pictures, and stories. It's a wholesome, age-appropriate (not too advanced for their age) magazine. The magazine is very colorful with lots of pictures and diagrams.
Sections include: Letters from you, contest (different each month), friendship matters (advice), Crafts, Quiz, story contest winner story, posters, and help! There are a few inserts which are a bit annoying, but come in many magazines.
This month (August) the magazine features photo's of the great halloween costumes readers sent in. This is really helpful for girls to get ideas for the upcoming holiday. It also features and art gallery with some great pictures readers drew and sent in. My favorite part that I love my daughter to read is the advice sections. They have kids asking advice on different topics and include the kids name & a photo. American Girl responds with advice and ideas for how this particular problem could be handled. You never know what problems your kids are facing that they don't want to talk about, and this is great wholesome advice.
I love the section this month with hairstyle ideas for the preteen girl set. There are some cute do's! I even enjoy reading through the mag on occasion to get some ideas and stay in touch with what is "cool" and "in" at that awkward age.
Conclusion: A great magazine choc full of ideas and advice interesting for girls & Mom. A great way for girls to connect with their Mom if you read it together. Most importantly...you don't have to worry about what your daughter is reading! It is a magazine for YOUNG girls and suitable for this age group. There aren't really a lot of magazines for my daughter I can say that about. It makes her feel "grown-up", but it's made for kids.
Another bonus: They don't sell the American girl products in the magazine.
