As I was contemplating new blog ideas, I thought of my favorite piece of children's literature from when I was a child. I absolutely loved the Highlights magazine. Those are the magazines that have all sorts of fun games and stories for children to read. Anytime one walks into a pediatric dentist or pediatrician's office, Highlights can be found scattered around the room. I had a subscription to the magazine when I was younger, and I actually found them all a few years ago. They have been kept for over 15 years at the back of my closet. I looked forward every month when the magazine would appear on my doorstep.

I think it is absolutely fantastic that a company thought to put out a magazine solely for children. The magazine has educational articles and brain teaser games that help children learn in a fun environment. Also, children feel as if they are like adults if they are able to read a magazine when they go to the doctor's office, just like their parents.

I appreciate Highlights and think it is an invaluable resource for children - entertaining and educational!
