National Geographic Kids is a magazine designed to introduce kids to a variety of topics in the world. Each issue has information about animals, science, technology, archaeology, and geography. It also includes pop culture, jokes, games and other activities.Articles are brief and colorful making them high interest. There are few advertisements, but those included are for things like video games and movies which might be a concern for those who don't want to expose kids to advertising. These magazines definitely have a place in the elementary classroom where multiple subjects are taught since they are cross-curricular. Teachers could use them to quiz students on their readings. They are also a good addition to school and public libraries where readers can pick them up for a quick read.
