Summary: Great teaching tool for curious preschoolers!
Comment: I have been a fan of Cricket magazines since I first subscribed to Babybug when my daughter was a baby. She is now 3.5 years-old and I currently subscribe to Ladybug and Click. Ladybug takes off from Babybug in that it has stories and poems that are illustrated in full-color and the text is engaging for young and aspiring readers.
Click is a magazine for preschoolers and beginning readers who are curious about the world we live in - the magazine explores different themes in every issue, for e.g. transportation etc. The explanations are brief so kids will not get bored, and there are plenty of pictures and illustrations to capture young children's imagination. I found that when I took the trouble to sit with my daughter and discuss the concepts being explored in the magazine [asking leading questions, getting her response to the pictures, providing her opportunities to formulate her own opinions], the result was a rewarding session.
I would recommend Click for preschoolers and beginner readers. It is a great companion to Ladybug [which focuses on poems and stories] and both provide a good balance for children in terms of exposure to language and knowledge. The magazines are also ad-free, which is a great bonus!

Summary: Excellent starter magazine for kids
Comment: Along with Ladybug, another Cricket Publications magainze for kids, Click is best in its class for 2 to 6 year olds. Where Ladybuy is largely fantasy, fables, fairy tales and loose play, Click is more pragmatic. Each issue has a theme on some worldly issue or basic knowledge. For example one recent feature focuses on recognizing and understanding the value of money. Another on the recycling. If that seems dry to you, don't fret, each theme is playfully introduced through cartoons and kid-friendly devices such as cut-out projects and picture association games. Recurring features such as "Yo Wants to Know", "Click and the Kids" and "Beatrice Black Bear" helps excite kids to look forward to and identify with regular characters and themes. No less important, no annoying ads. Highly recommended.

Summary: Escaping the tyranny of commercialism
Comment: We have been happy subscribers to Cricket magazines from our first issue of Babybug. Now that he's five, my son treasures his subscription to Click and reads it cover to cover the minute it arrives. The magazine is informative, enjoyable, and fun--the articles feature a well-balanced mix of topics, the illustrations are varied and clever, and the writing is top-notch. All of this is apparent to any one who glances through an issue of the magazine.
What's just as wonderful about Click to me is its ability to create a world totally apart from the general realm of children's media. Not only is this world imaginative and stimulating, it is also completely free of the overbearing commercialism that dominates the everyday culture of children. No brand names, no licensed characters, no endless encouragements to consume.
I am a mom trying to raise children who are curious, creative, and capable of pursuing a wide range of interests. Click supports them in all of this, and it does so by clearing a space where they can truly be themselves.

Summary: Kid-friendly, parent-approved
Comment: Click is one of the best magazines out there for the 4 to 6 year old age group. Great photos, great articles that explain interesting themes in a simple, concrete, but never patronizing way, and lovely complementary cartoons.
Best of all, there are NO ADVERTISEMENTS. Yup. Just pure reading pleasure for you and your kids.

Summary: Not so hot
Comment: My kids, who are 3, 6 and 9, and all huge science/nature lovers, have just not gotten into this magazine at all. They LOVE the Ranger Rick/Backyard issues they also receive, as well as some other kid magazines like Amer Girl and SI Kids, but the youngest two refuse to even pause to look through Click. Not sure why, since all the other reviews here are so positive...
