Recommended grades 4-6.
American Girl magazine mimics women's magazines in style, though offers developmentally appropriate reading material for young girls. Adult authors pack the glossy pages with crafts, life tips (like how to avoid stress), exercises to be enjoyed with friends, and complementary quizzes (where no answer is a wrong answer).
American Girl makes room for reader contributions featuring art and short stories submitted by readers, empowering girls to create and contribute. Other than a couple plugs for the American Girl franchise, including their dolls and books, there are no advertisements in this magazine, which will be welcomed by parents. For girls who want to start reading magazine, this is a good alternative to teen magazines, and celebrates tweens where they are, without pushing them to grow up, but still respecting their individuality.
Recommended, ***.
