Jolly Tots review of Story Box magazines
by Ruby Speechley
See details of special offer for Jolly Tots readers below!
Story Box is an ideal magazine for children aged 3 – 6 years. The quality of these 50-page magazines is outstanding. When you receive one, you realise what good value they really are. For a start, they look and feel more like a picture book you’d pay around six pounds for in a shop. But Story Box is ‘more than a book.’ It has fun magazine content which sits well alongside the full length, beautifully illustrated story. And don’t worry, you won’t be throwing these magazines away! They will soon become firm favourites on your child’s bookshelf where they’ll come back to them again and again.
A regular item is ‘Wonder with Whizkid’ which covers some big questions we’re all curious about, such as ‘Why don’t the stars fall on us?’ and ‘Why do nettles sting?’ Each topic is presented in an easy to follow format. Whizkid (a cute little character) navigates you through the answers to these burning questions.
SamSam is the Story Box cartoon hero. ‘The smallest of the big heroes’ to be precise! Children love humour and Samsam provides plenty of it. Other regulars include a page of poetry ‘Time for a Rhyme’ and another comic strip ‘The Adventures of the Lovett Family.’ ‘Animal World’ meanwhile, focuses on a different animal every issue, for example, the Komodo Dragon and gives interesting facts in short, easy to understand sentences.
Story Box even has games and puzzles to play too. A gift subscription makes a wonderful and unique present for any child this age because the content feeds their growing curiosity about the world and gives them plenty of things to do and learn.
