Sports Illustrated Kids. monthly magazine. published by Time, Inc.
Review:
Sports Illustrated Kids is a kids version of the popular monthly sports magazine, Sports Illustrated. The magazine is full of colorful, attention-grabbing photographs of sports stars, athlete profiles, news articles and playing cards. The content is similar to the adult version of the magazine, though the articles are slightly shorter, there is a greater emphasis on humor, and the magazine contains kids' artwork, picture puzzles and word games. Still, the vocabulary and writing style definitely put this magazine at an older tween level as far as the reading level.

Opinion:
At my library, this is one of the most popular magazines amongst our tween patrons. The bright, photo filled pages have a lot of kid appeal, and the content draws in children who might be reluctant readers. There are not many magazines which appeal to tween boys, and this is definitely one of them.

I have an Olympics book display in my library, and I've added Sports Illustrated Kids to it.
