- Quick shipping.
It was very quick shipping and arrived ahead of schedule. It arrived on my grandson's birthday. He is thrilled with the subscription. Thank you.

- Kids Sports Illustrated Review
This is an excellent source of entertainment and information for children with a sustaining interest in sports. It has also exposed my son to other sports he hadn't considered.

Rating:

- Winning gift
One 8 yr. old "sports-loving" grandson was so happy with his gift subscription, we gave it again to another child. Terrific magazine and Amazon offered best subscription price. Does take many weeks to first arrive, so consider if purchasing as a special gift.

- First Class!
As a grandmother living in England I wanted to subscribe to a magazine my 9-year-old grandson Sam, living in Boston, would receive on a regular basis. He enjoys most sports and is an avid Red Sox supporter. On a recent visit to my family, Sam, who is now 10, said how much he enjoys Sports Illustrated, and to my surprise said he didn't want it changed at all (I had half expected him to ask for more Red Sox news, but that wasn't the case.) The mix of sports, and the information provided, certainly works for this age group, and should continue until he is ready for the adult version.

Rating:

- Great for Kids
I've been subscribed to Sports Illustrated for a while now, and although this month's issue wasn't really great, almost all of the other ones were great.

What's in every issue:
Each and every issue comes with a 2-sided mini poster that's a little bigger than a piece of paper. The first few pages includes some extremely detailed and great sports pictures. (Trust me, you'll know what I mean if you buy one.) Then, it's followed by a page on polls conducted by Sports Illustrated in the past month. Then, it's followed by a page of 9 sports cards, that each include a picture of the player on the front and on the back (usually the front pic is the player in action like after hitting a home run, or making a great catch in football, or taking a shot in basketball, etc, and on the back, the picture is a small portrait of the player), and on the back of the card, it tells you what the player's accomplishments are, what his/her stats, awards received, height, weight, place of birth, date of birth, position he/she plays, and other miscellaneous stats. There is also a trivial question that's fun to challenge yourself with.

Followed by that is a Q&A with a star on a sport, and the next page would be new sports gear with interesting sports numbers like birthdays of players. Then, it's followed by a few hilarious photos with hilarious captions that will make even the most serious adult laugh (seriously, my teacher cracked up when he saw one of them). The next page would be a few tips from a star in the pros like how to steal a base in baseball, how to shoot 3-pointers in basketball, you get the picture... Very interesting to flip through even for an adult.

Even though this review is written by a kid, I feel that even if you are an adult, you should try it too. If you are buying it for a kid, especially for a boy between the ages of 7-14, they'll love it too. I'll guarantee that. This magazine is really a 5-star magazine.
