| boomkids's Full Review: Boomerang! Magazine |
I was amused by another reviewers remarks. The mother didn't like it but the 10 year old couldnt get enough of it. Perhaps that's because of the incredible array of knowledge presented through various storytelling devices on this monthly CD empowers kids. I have an 8 year old and a 13 year old. We all listen in the car and the older one listens every night. There are historical interviews with artist Georgia O'Keeffe, Theodore Roosevelt,
The Wright Brothers... current event pieces on the New China and global warming. (The mysteries and jokes are pretty good too.
If you don't want your child spouting out "inappropriate" facts about America's withdrawl from the Kyoto treaty, "Highlights" might be a better magazine choice. But if you want your children to be proactive and informed, I can't think of a better source of info. (Washington Post, The American Library Association and Utne Reader all give it their highest marks. You can even sample some segments on their website (boomkids.com) and decide for yourself.
