magazine review: Animal Baby

[psocoptera]

We have now received our first issue of Animal Baby. It's cute - smaller than a normal magazine, about the size of a classic Golden Book. This month we got a four-page cover story about a tiger baby (comprising three photos and six sentences), six two-page things including a short poem with suggested hand motions, a picture of a yawning prairie dog, and one that actually taught me something (a meadowlark says "see-you! see-you!), a four-page illustrated story about some kids planting seeds, and a page in the back with a craft idea and a book review/ad (you can buy it on their website). Junie was interested to read it the first time but hasn't asked for it again (unlike new library books which we read over and over).

Also, presumably because the person who gave it to Junie has rather shaky handwriting, it's addressed to Jennifer Smiel, which just really amuses me somehow.

it's important to keep notes of these kinds of addressing errors. Junie may need a pseudonym someday.

We checked this book out online today because it sounded cool (you can view an entire issue) Lirael was not impressed. She is much happier with her baby catalogue(you know the free ones that try to sell you tons of baby equipment and have pictures of happy babies using the unecessary expensive equipment on every page) or my birds and bees magazine.
