Babybug Magazine

Pros: Great pictures, durable magazine
Cons: Boring, lacks charm, not as good as a picture book

I can hear the marketing staff of Cricket Publications.

Innocent Intern: Hey, the numbers of Ladybug are looking pretty good. Circulation is up and the writing expense is down.

Muddled Manager: We should...

Pros: Colorful, friendly pictures. Stories for very young children. No advertising.
Cons: Well, it is a tad expensive.

Did you know there's a magazine for babies? Not about babies, but for babies. Babybug is that magazine! For babies and toddlers from 6 months to 2 years, Babybug looks more like a board book than a magazine. It's 22 smooth, ...

Pros: Innovative baby product, all of the quality of a baby board book, adds variety to your bookshelf
Cons: I always want more

When I received my first gift issue in the mail, I was floored. I had never seen such an innovative baby product. A product that makes my normal gift picks pale in comparison. This is a magazine subscription for Babybug Magazine. A magazine...

Pros: perfect reading and viewing material for babies
Cons: price- but it's worth it

Babybug magazine is real literature for babies and their parents. The stories and poems are not only beautifully illustrated, but well written. Quality of writing is important when reading to young children. They won't understand many of the words at...

Pros: Well made, great pictures, and fun to read together.
Cons: None

My son received a gift subscription to Babybug magazine from his grandparents shortly after his birth. Lucky for us, they have continued to renew our gift subscription for the past 3 years to this quality magazine.

Babybug magazine is made...

Pros: Continuous storyline with same first story characters, Rabbits and Kim; Mother Goose; creative & fun!
Cons: Inside advertisement cards, once puled out, break the binding on this otherwise book-like subscription.

For the new reader who might sit still in your lap for only a few minutes at any given time, this is a great magazine to bring into your home once a month. First of all, it's your child's first time to hear, every 30 days or so, "You have mail!!" I ...

Pros: Captivating and sturdy magazine for toddlers
Cons: Expensive

My son Alex was given a subscription to Babybug for his first birthday. At first I wondered about a magazine for such a young child, but when it arrived, I discovered that it is printed on a sturdy card-stock. The end result is a book that is...

Pros: Beautiful Artwork, catchy poems and hearty pages, toddlers may obsess because they love it so much
Cons: only 10 issues a year, toddlers may obsess because they love it so much

Our new Babybug arrived in the mail yesterday. I showed it to my 14 month old son, who was a little upset about something, and said "Look what's here!" He lit right up and wanted to hear the whole thing right away.

I'm not sure...

Pros: Great educational value and sturdy
Cons: Expensive!

I received a subscription to Babybug and it was the best gift I ever received! I hadn't heard of this publication before and I'm surprised because I can't think of anything that even comes close to the type of educational quality in this children's...

Pros: Enjoyable for the under two set, nice content, pictures, text large and easy to read.
Cons: Subscription cards, not as sturdy as I'd like.

The text of this magazine is large, clear and easy to read, and the size is small so that my 21 month old daughter can pick it right up and bring it to me (which she does, trust me). It's not as durable as I was expecting, a page has already fallen out...

Pros: hefty pages, cute stories and graphics
Cons: expensive

I did not subscribe to this magazine because of the hefty subscription price however I would buy it for my daughter when she was 18 months old and younger and it was available at our local bookstore. The stories and graphics were great for the older...

Pros: High-quality, kid-centered, enjoyable
Cons: Very Expensive

Babybug is full of simple, colorful, kid-pleasing illustrations and short poems and stories about the activities that make up a toddler's day--getting dressed, bedtime, playing with trucks, wishing on stars . . .

I was pleased to see that the...

Pros: Good quality, baby likes it
Cons: EXPENSIVE!!!! $$$

I am an avid reader and my 14 month old daughter has shown a tendency toward that trait as well because she is constantly bringing me books to read to her. I love to buy new books for her, but I am not always able to get into town to pick them out...

Pros: High quality, thoughtful, developmentally appropriate, well-rounded in themes and topics, diverse characters included
Cons: expensive

I so disagree with the negative review listed above!  I purchased a Babybug subscription for my son's first birthday.  For many months, he bypassed the magazine in favor of board books about trucks, trains, cars and anything that moved.  I ...

Pros: Great pictures, stories; sturdy (!)
Cons: A little on the pricey side

Babybug is wonderful! We gave my daughter a subscription for her first birthday and she loved it. We were a little hesitant at first about the price (about $36/year) but found it to be well worth the money. There was great excitement each month when...
