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!

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!

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.

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!


5 out of 5 stars Get your kids to read!   December 30, 2004

I ordered this as a birthday gift for my 8yr old nephew who loves to both play and watch sports. Now he grabs the issue as soon as it arrives and runs to his room to read it and get his new trading cards. Each issue also comes with a small poster in the middle that can be hung in their room or locker. It appears to have the same or similar articles as the "adult" version but no swimsuit issue and otherwise edited for the younger set. He has already asked me to renew the subscription for his next birthday. This is a great way to get your kids reading which will also help improve their writing as well as other skills needed in school (and life).
If your child loves sports I highly recommend investing in a subscription - well worth the $20!
