5.0 out of 5 stars Reasons Why You Will LOVE Discovery Girls, August 19, 2003

A Kid's Review

1. They come to your state and may choose you to be in the magazine, which is VERY exciting!
2. It talks just enough about boys and crushes to keep you satisfied and clued in, and it doesn't go overboard trying to keep guys in or out of the magazine.
3. The beauty section talks about natural things, like hair care and acne, as oppose to "shaping your eyebrows" and "getting a fake tan."
4. The fashion section advertises cute clothes and accessories that are affordable and that you'll actually wear. Some other magazines were advertising how these ugly bright tights are going to be "hot" this year (and at pretty expensive stores,may I add).
5. Tons of quizzes! And not quizzes like, "Do You Know How to Get Your Guy?", but, "Are You Pop Star Material?" and, "Will You Survive Camp?"
6. Lots of cool contests, like describing your ultimate birthday party!
7. The girls they have in the magazines are girls that you really can relate to and don't look they've been on an extreme crash diet for two years. Also, they aren't wearing clothes with plunging necklines, super-short minis, leather jackets, and sequined bras.
8. The magazine has debates on subjects like, "Are school uniforms a good idea?" And they publish both sides of the argument!

I hope you love Discovery Girls as much as I have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Teen Girls, January 27, 2003

By	THall (Muldrow, OK USA) - See all my reviews

I am a media specialist at public school. I am in charge of ordering various media including magazines for our library. Discovery Girls was first sent to me as a sample. Upon reviewing the contents I quickly decided this was a keeper and ordered a subscription for my students.

I is so nice to see someone publishing a magazine where teen girls are presented as wholesome, age-appropriate teen girls and not as exploited, skin-bearing women. I had been hoping for years for a magazine like this. Discovery Girls is packed with topics appealing to teens. The layout is vivid and attracting. If you are concerned about content and role models for teen girls then this is the magazine you have been waiting for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Magazine That's Wholesome, Yet Fun!, March 28, 2002

By A Customer

Discovery Girls magazine is geared toward 8-12 year old girls, and the content and design of the magazine reflects that well. I appreciate the magazine for the fact that it highlights the achievements of regular girls and discusses everyday issues. Girls submit stories and poems, draw pictures, discuss different debate topics (e.g. "Is Brittney Spears a Good Role Model?") and there are no professional models! My daughter loves the fact that there are "reals girls" in the magazine and is thrilled by the possibility of being in it herself. I like this magazine because it is not your typical "teen" magazine in which boys and celebs seem to be the main focus. Discovery Girls focuses on everyday, ordinary girls and the issues they face in this transition into the teen years. Such topics include changing in front of other girls at school, dealing with bullies, when to wear a bra, and middle school fears. Of course there is the fun stuff too, such as embarrassing moments, crafts, contests, games, quizzes, fashion, and sports tips. I recommend it to mothers and daughters alike!
