I would like to give a magazine subscription to my friends 5 year old daughter. Is Highlights good for her? What other children's magazines do you suggest?

No, no, a thousand times no. I've hated Highlights my entire life. It's the only thing that would be mildly entertaining (but not very) in the doctor's office.
My suggestion is Click magazine, which is for ages 3-7. Winner of the 2007 Parents' Choice Gold Award.
I think the National Geographic kid's magazine is a fantastic idea too.

Yeah. (But, it'd be better if they can read because there's a lot of stories in that magazine, lots of pics too, but most of them go along with the stories. If she can't read very well or can't read at all then try Highlights: Hi-five, it's geared towards preschool and kidnergartion age kids.) In 1-3 grade, I had a subscription to Highlights. I loved it so much and I always had to check for it to come in the mail every day!!!! Now, I like Seventeen and Cosmogirl because I'm 14 now.

Both of my sons received highlights last year for christmas; this was a year subscription. They would not read it; so I passed is off onto a couple of the neighbor girls who are around the same age as my sons (8-10) They enjoyed it; so I would say for a girl yes it is great, I enjoyed it as a kid; but if this is for a boy I do not know as my boys have absolutely no interest in this magazine.

Highlights is usually targeted for the older kids like 7to 9 year olds. If you want to subscribe a magazine for your 5 year old niece i would try highlights High Five this is for preschoolers and kindergarten and also first grade. I think she would enjoy this one more because the stories are alot easier to read and there is alot of pictures as well. Good Luck

Highlights is good. There is also a series of magazines by one publisher that has magazines for successive ages 5 into adolescence—I just can't remember which mag is for which age but google search and website would clarify that. They are: Ladybug, Cricket, Spider, and Cicada. I work with kids and keep these 5 for them in the waiing room..

Highlights is for an older girl.
Try "Your Big Backyard".
It's a great magazine for 3-7 year olds that is put out by the National Wildlife Federation.

Yes, "Highlights" is a good magazine for kids
(wow! that was an easy 2 points!).
Other kid-friendly magazines may be found at the links, below, though I can't vouch for any of them. Keep in mind that some countries offer their own magazines which may not be known on the 'net. Your local library should be able to offer assistance.

Yes! My parents let me have a one year subscription when I was in elementary school. There used to be a Sesame St. magazine too, but I am not sure if it's still published?

I suggest Nickolodian Jr. magazine. It's a fun magazine for children with tons of activities.
