Another unsolicited gift idea and positive review for the best little magazine for the toddler set (around 15 month to 30 month old): Wild Animal Baby by the National Wildlife Federation. We got it last Christmas from from my mom and Holden really loves it.
He always pores over the new issues until he learns every nuance, and he often wants to read more than one in a sitting. Having a mini magazine subscription is sooooo good when the board books are getting a little (or a lot) stale. I plan to save all the back issues for Milo and can fully recommend it as a gift.
We are ready to graduate to Your Big Backyard (for the over-threes). Woohoo.
We have been getting this for a couple of years, too. We probably have over 100 children’s books, but Julian loves his “magazines”.
