This a fabulous sports magazine whiich features interviews, sports reporting, quizzes and games, and stories about professional as well as amateur (many of them young) athletes. The magazine is fun, factual, and age appropriate. In fact, I sometimes enjoy the purity of the stories, which evoke the joy of sports and elevate the human angle. Each issue also has a 2-page mini-poster, and lots of fun features that not only inform and entertain, but promote reading. One of the best gifts you can get for any young sports fan--but you may find yourself borrowing it!

My mother purchased a subscription to SI for Kids last year for our son who was an almost-seven-year-old. Ever since the first issue, he has gotten very excited when the latest issue arrived. At first, he would just look at the pictures and read what he could. Since his reading level has "exploded" this past year (in part, no doubt to the sports books/magazines he's been reading), he reads every issue from cover to cover. This is a great magazine for kids. Needless to say, his subscription has been renewed for another year. We'll be moving up to the next level of SI before too long, I'm sure.

i get si kids every month it is funny intresting and educational. i hope you enjoy every aspect of this magizine

I recently boutght this subsctiptoion for my cousin, and he loves i. It provides an in-depth lookat teh wolrd of sports a a readable level for a 10 year old. It has tons of picutes and posters, and provides information on when events will occur. It has some games and some trivia challanges. Good for a pre-teen to teen.

I hesitated before subscribing to this magazine on behalf of my son, mainly due to a vague sense of dread about how SIKids might handle the inevitable boorish behavior by various jock/celebs. Every week in the "older" version of SI, you read something about drug bust this, assault and battery that--and you wonder what effect the antics of these millionaire morons has on kids. Well, to my surprise (and relief), SIKids generally skirts this type of nonsense and focuses squarely on the achievements of great athletes. The layouts and photos are great and the writing never talks down to kids. Instead, the magazine seems to excel at delivering good, solid journalism that kids can actually appreciate and relate to. SIKids is a VERY good investment if your son or daughter loves sports!
