Babybug Magazine

Pros: Colorful, friendly pictures. Stories for very young children. No advertising.

Cons: Well, it is a tad expensive.

The Bottom Line: A great addition to a reading family's library.

Review: Did you know there's a magazine for babies? Not about babies, but for babies. Babybug is that magazine! For babies and toddlers from 6 months to 2 years, Babybug looks more like a board book than a magazine. It's 22 smooth, ...

Pros: perfect reading and viewing material for babies

Cons: price- but it's worth it

Review: Babybug magazine is real literature for babies and their parents. The stories and poems are not only beautifully illustrated, but well written. Quality of writing is important when reading to young children. They won't understand many of the words at...

Pros: Well made, great pictures, and fun to read together.

Cons: None

Review: My son received a gift subscription to Babybug magazine from his grandparents shortly after his birth. Lucky for us, they have continued to renew our gift subscription for the past 3 years to this quality magazine.

Babybug magazine is made...

Pros: Continuous storyline with same first story characters, Rabbits and Kim; Mother Goose; creative & fun!

Cons: Inside advertisement cards, once puled out, break the binding on this otherwise book-like subscription.

The Bottom Line: Creative, witty, small-sized mag is great for little movers who are still learning to sit still for storytime.

Review: For the new reader who might sit still in your lap for only a few minutes at any given time, this is a great magazine to bring into your home once a month. First of all, it's your child's first time to hear, every 30 days or so, "You have mail!!" I ...

Pros: Great educational value and sturdy

Cons: Expensive!

Review: I received a subscription to Babybug and it was the best gift I ever received! I hadn't heard of this publication before and I'm surprised because I can't think of anything that even comes close to the type of educational quality in this children's...

Pros: Captivating and sturdy magazine for toddlers

Cons: Expensive

The Bottom Line: This is a fantastic magazine for babies and toddlers - very sweet and sturdy. Buy it!

Review: My son Alex was given a subscription to Babybug for his first birthday. At first I wondered about a magazine for such a young child, but when it arrived, I discovered that it is printed on a sturdy card-stock. The end result is a book that is...

Pros: Great pictures, stories; sturdy (!)

Cons: A little on the pricey side

Review: Babybug is wonderful! We gave my daughter a subscription for her first birthday and she loved it. We were a little hesitant at first about the price (about $36/year) but found it to be well worth the money. There was great excitement each month when...

Pros: Beautiful Artwork, catchy poems and hearty pages, toddlers may obsess because they love it so much

Cons: only 10 issues a year, toddlers may obsess because they love it so much

Review: Our new Babybug arrived in the mail yesterday. I showed it to my 14 month old son, who was a little upset about something, and said "Look what's here!" He lit right up and wanted to hear the whole thing right away.

I'm not sure...

Pros: sturdy board book format. great art and stories

Cons: a bit high priced, but well worth it.

Review: My now 6 yr. old received this magazine when she was a baby. My older daughter had been receiving Ladybug Mag. for awhile and we were so pleased when the company introduced this mag. for babies. We, of course had Grandma and Grandpa subscribe right...

Pros: High quality, thoughtful, developmentally appropriate, well-rounded in themes and topics, diverse characters included

Cons: expensive

The Bottom Line: If you consider yourself your child's first teacher, this is an excellent (and fun) educational tool to include in your home.

Review: I so disagree with the negative review listed above!  I purchased a Babybug subscription for my son's first birthday.  For many months, he bypassed the magazine in favor of board books about trucks, trains, cars and anything that moved.  I ...
