Don’t worry, Tricia will be back next week with many more awesome poster artists!
ANORAK: The Happy Magazine for Kids is a UK-based children’s magazine of illustrated and graphical wonder (think: Highlights: The Next Generation)! They recently sent me a copy, which I am currently swooning over despite my official status as an adult (who may or may not be able to rent cars).
The magazine doesn’t seem to orient itself towards one particular age group (the magazine suggests it’s for kids 5-10). For younger kids, there are beautiful pages of artwork, bright colors, drawing prompts, and simple games. For slightly older kids, there are fun stories and easy-to-read informational articles.
There is also a great eight page section called “good stuff” which references new and fun events, games, & products, and book reviews by kids 5-10.
For adults like me, there is lots and lots of pretty.
You can also check-out their web-site online, which has a section of free, fun goodies including doodle-y desktop wallpapers and icons.
The magazine is about 80 full-color pages on high-quality non-gloss paper. It comes four times a year, but is a bit expensive for a subscription for we non-UK folk (If you want, you can pretend you are getting little books in the mail and the cost won’t seem so high! Also, you AND your child are going to love it!). You can purchase single issues at the following US locations:
