Customer Rating: Summary: Long delivery time Comment: Just to let the first time Cricket orderer know, they quote 3 to 4 months to deliver. It took **5** months for my niece to receive her birthday gift. I was not pleased. Hopefully it's worth the wait. Customer Rating: Summary: Why so slow? Comment: We're psyched to read Cricket - it sounds great for our 7 year old bookish son - but it's been more than a month and we've yet to see an issue of Cricket in the mail. Why does the subscription process take so long? Customer Rating: Summary: not for young readers Comment: I urge parents to read through this magazine before letting your young readers read it. I bought this for my 10 year old daughter. Our first issue was Feb. I was not happy to read a story that mentioned girls teasing about a girl being "a wanna be boy" & having a sex change. This should not be in a magazine geared towards this age range. I cancelled our subscription.
Customer Rating: Summary: Cricket - Magazine Comment: I am giving this no stars. I have never recieved even one issue. I ordered this in November and I expected to see a copy in January but now its Feb and nothing has come. Ranger Rick did and it was ordered at the same time. Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful magazine to encourage reading! Comment: The Cricket Magazine group puts out well-written, beautifully illustrated magazines for children of all ages. Cricket is aimed at the 6-14 yrs age group, and is very well put together. Every issue is lavishly illustrated, and contains poems and stories that encourage the flowering of one's imagination as well as exposing kids to different cultures [some of the stories featured have an international flavor, e.g. from Thailand, China etc]. Above all, these poems and stories are interesting, and capture the imagination, essential ingredients for encouraging reading. A fine magazine indeed!
