Ladybug celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary this month. For twenty-five years, the magazine has been trying to reflect the world of young children — and make it a little broader — through stories, poetry, art, and various activities.

   Each issue of this magazine encourages kids to take a closer look at the people and places around them. Ladybug invites children to bring their whole selves — their acute ear for language and keen eye for illustrations(插图), as well as their wonderful sense of play and great power of imagination — when they sit down and start to put their heart into reading.

      The significance of Ladybug’s long history is clearest to me, a man who is in charge of the edition of this magazine, when I talk to parents of children who have grown up. They often respond with surprise: "Ladybug? With the poems, and the stories, and the crafts to cut out, what will you do next? We used to read that magazine when the kids were little." And then there is a moment of silence, as if the father is searching for a particular poem, or the mother is remembering the feel of a restless child’s head when it finally settled against her shoulder. It is a great pleasure to contribute to a magazine that families have put in their memory.

     Some anniversaries are formal, but at Ladybug, we approached the September issue as if it had been a birthday party. It is full of lively company, jokes, music, stories and poems that celebrate special days and growing up.

     In this spirit, we offer one of our favorite birthday stories, "Big Bear and Skinny Rabbit", from an issue that came out a few years ago. It is part of a series about two friends who couldn’t be more different in temperament(气质), yet more perfect for one another.

You save: $4.80 (24%)   Review: By Pat Kane 

I absolutely love Bark magazine! I love the “smiling” pages and the tips on every issue. I am a dog lover and have saved all of my dogs from either death row or from people who were going to put them down. Everyone should have a chance to live and Bark stresses that with its articles. This magazine is a MUST HAVE for any dog lover!! 

Dog Fancy

You save: $39.01 (72%)   Review: By Berner Mom 

D on't waste your money on this magazine. 60-70 percent of it are advertisements, and the articles offer little useful information. It might be suitable for children, but not adults who are serious about educating themselves about dogs. 

Dog World

Cover Price: $48.88      Price: $14.99 ($1.25 / issue)

You save: $33.89 (69%)   Review: By one critic 

Dog Worldhas many very interesting and thought-provoking (令人思考的) articles for people involved in dog showing, breeding(饲养), performance events, etc. However，over half of the magazine is devoted to breeder ads, which is boring. Still, as a whole, I recommend(推荐) it for the articles. Good articles, but tons of ads. 

Modern Dog

Cover Price: $45.00      Price: $15.00 ($3.75 / issue)

You save: $30.00 (24%)   Review: By Dinah 

My new favorite magazine! Beautiful photos, smart and amusing articles, fashion, art, interviews with famous people… all with a dog focus！Cover models range from Paris Hilton and Tinkerbell to Virginia Madsen and her dogs. Thanks to Modern Dog I now know how to give a dog-friendly cocktail party and how to actually get my dog to come when she’s called. Surely worth checking out.
