Pros: Great crafts, projects to do alone or with friends, fun history lessons, stories, fine art, and healthy advice for girls
Cons: Only a bi-monthly publication, it leaves you wanting more issues!

"I received the very first issue of American Girl Magazine when I was nine, and waited impatiently for each issue up through high school when first niece was old enough to be interested in it. I now buy a subscription for each of my three nieces and my one cousin for Christmas each year, and I enjoy reading it with them, as I remember my mother doing with me! This mag has wonderful helpful, level headed advice, fun activities, and great stories about the American Girl Dolls as well as stories from independent writers. It features interesting history lessons relating back to the stories and interesting articles about real girls all over the country. I cannot stress how highly I recommend this magazine to any girl 8 to13. It's one of the great high points of my childhood and I wish everyone would share it with a girl they love."

Pros: no ads, and crafts are cool
Cons: short, and the content is babyish

"I've subscribed to American Girl since I was eight, and everytime I finished an issue, i would close it and give a disappointed sigh. Now I am smart enough to cancel my subscription. There were to many pictures, and it doesn't give you good advice. It doesn't help you with anything. I would recommend it to a five year old girl who loves bright colors."

Was well written, April 26, 2007
By iluvkidz

"The only problem that I had with American Girl Magazine, was that it had a lot of holidays and suff that not every American girl celebrates. (Chrismas etc). Other than that I loved the magazine. One of the best things was the storys. This was one of the best presents that I ever recieved. Keep up the awesome work. Please keep it coming!"
