5 out of 5 stars A great start for kids interested in sports!   December 2, 2002

I hesitated before subscribing to this magazine on behalf of my son, mainly due to a vague sense of dread about how SIKids might handle the inevitable boorish behavior by various jock/celebs. Every week in the "older" version of SI, you read something about drug bust this, assault and battery that--and you wonder what effect the antics of these millionaire morons has on kids. Well, to my surprise (and relief), SIKids generally skirts this type of nonsense and focuses squarely on the achievements of great athletes. The layouts and photos are great and the writing never talks down to kids. Instead, the magazine seems to excel at delivering good, solid journalism that kids can actually appreciate and relate to. SIKids is a VERY good investment if your son or daughter loves sports!


5 out of 5 stars Sometimes Better than the Adult Version!   April 25, 2004

This a fabulous sports magazine whiich features interviews, sports reporting, quizzes and games, and stories about professional as well as amateur (many of them young) athletes. The magazine is fun, factual, and age appropriate. In fact, I sometimes enjoy the purity of the stories, which evoke the joy of sports and elevate the human angle. Each issue also has a 2-page mini-poster, and lots of fun features that not only inform and entertain, but promote reading. One of the best gifts you can get for any young sports fan--but you may find yourself borrowing it!

Sports Illustrated for Kids is an excellent magazine for younger sports fans. In each issue you get collectible cards, the "Buzz Beamer" comic, trivia challenges, a calendar, a "What's On TV" column and, of course, informative articles featuring athletes, plus so much more.

As a 14-year-old sports fan, I truly look forward to receiving this magazine every month because it's so fun and interesting to read.

This is a must have for kids and teens who enjoy sports!

I have been a subscriber to Sports Illustrated for Kids for nearly 10 years now. Sports Illustrated for Kids is a great magazine that is sent out monthly to subscribers. It includes great stories about professional players and their personal lives as well as stories about kids in the sports world and a lot more. Sports Illustrated for Kids is full of great, interesting articles, fun games, trivia, comics, and is very easy to read. Every month their is a featured player, who a large article is written about and a large poster is included. There is even a section for video game fans called Sports Gamer that reviews the latest sports video games.

If you are looking for a special gift for a child who likes sports, I highly recommend that you subscribe to this magazine.

I've been reading this with my six year old son for several months now. It's a great way to get in some pleasurable reading, and start forming a reading habit, with a child who likes sports.

There are a number of standard sections, and nice short articles in kid-friendly language. Each month they have an insert with some playing cards which he looks forward to. And they'll interview a player about a specific skill -- how to steal a base, how to play defense in basketball, etc.

I recommend it both for the fun/sports content, and also for the educational benefit of starting the reading habit.
