    As a child I remember finding this magazine at my doctor’s office and reading it because it was the only thing available. It has not changed much. There are no redeeming features to make up for the dated and patronizing content. This Magazine will neither stretch your child’s mind nor keep him entertained. It only teaches the child what he already knows and feeds him what he has already seen. In the coming era of global connection, children must become aware of other parts of the world and lifestyles alien to them. Only telling them what is already common in their everyday lives helps to foster racism and xenophobia.

    Highlights is quite possibly the most completely unhelpful and unentertaining magazine i’ve ever read. It isn’t funny, and it’s often patronizing and tries too hard to include everybody. It isn’t educational at all. If you want your child to grow and develop, don’t get highlights. If you want your child to be an average, ordinary, everyday person who is content with reading insultingly easy little stories that are complete gas and bunk, go ahead. The inanity of this magazine would be amusing if it weren’t so pathetic. Don’t get this magazine! Your brain is a special thing-don’t let it deteriorate completely. You have been warned.

    My son, 6 received this magazine as a present. He never showed any interest in the magazine except for one game where he had to look for hidden objects. The stories did not appeal to him. The magazine did not appeal to me either. I found it very dated graphically. I wouldn’t recommend it.

    I ordered this magazine a year ago, and my nephew still haven’t receive a single magazine! Every time I email customer service they would tell me that it’s coming next month. I will let you how the magazine is when I get it, but don’t hold your breath.
