Ladybug Magazine is another Cricket Magazine Group publication. This magazine is directed at children ages three to six. Ladybug Magazine is also an award winning publication, receiving the 2010 Parents’ Choice Silver Honor. Cost of a subscription is the same as Babybug Magazine: nine issues a year for $33.95, 18 issues for two years at $57.95, and 45 issues over five years at $124.95. With paid subscription, parents and children also receive access to www.ladybugmagkids.com where they can download directions for creative projects, music and games. Children may also post artwork and write notes to story characters in the “Your Turn” segment. (www.ladybugmagkids.com, 2010).
Each Ladybug issue contains 40 pages of stories, poetry, songs, crafts, and a removable four page pull-out activity section. Every page includes beautiful illustrations to accompany the works of literature. One perk to note is that many children like familiarity and Ladybug meets this need by having stories with reoccurring characters such as “Max and Kate” and “Mop and Family”. There is also no advertising posted on any of the pages of Ladybug Magazine.
