Don't let your child miss out on this one.

I am utterly astounded that no more than four people have actually reviewed this item, me being the fourth. Does this mean that there are so few people out there who are not aware of Ranger Rick? If you are one of those, then sit back and check out one of the grandest children's magazines on the market. But beware, parents can become addicted too.

The National Wildlife Federation, Ranger Rick magazine is an outstanding adventure for people of all ages. This months (October) issue is surrounding the cat. Not just house cats either. And can you guess why the cat is a hot topic? Because of HaLLoWeeN!! Boo.

The Halloween cover is of a black cat. One with big, beautiful green eyes. His coat, the appearance of silk, shinny and new. Absolutely a majestic picture of a majestic animal.

And just inside the cover is a brief paragraph titled; About The Front Cover. This reads:

Long ago, some people believed
That dead friends and relatives came
Back to life as black cats around
Halloween. Today we know that
black cats are just, well, cats. Find
out more about cats - wild ones, especially.

Inside the front cover, also listed, are the contents of Ranger Rick. This makes it incredibly easy for children to search out something specific.

There is even a cartoon section known as Ranger Rick's Adventures. A lesson in life is what Rick's little animals experience for the children to grasp and understand. Simple, cute, colorful and just the right length so as not to bore the little ones.


Ranger Rick also includes a fact or fiction section in this months issue that explain to children to not always believe what they see or read. An example is the movie Dinosaurs. Q & A'd samples are 'Were dinosaurs huge lizards?' and 'Did Tyrannosaurus Rex drag its tail on the ground?' (If you want to know the answer, check into the magazine.)


You, your children even your spouse will learn interesting facts about animals, bugs, eating habits, the difference between right and wrong, and also learn creative art and crafts that are easy and fun to do.
