Price :$47.88 for 12 issues
Reader's Annotation: Sports Illustrated Kids has sports news for kids ages 7-12.
Summary: Sports Illustrated Kids has just what you'd expect : sports news for kids. Unlike the adult version of the magazine, though, it's a pretty clean version of sports news. There is analysis of teams and leagues and players, but no talk of which big sports star got into trouble with the law for doing something foolish. The news is positive and encouraging. The magazine has plenty of stories of kids athleticism as well, and does a fairly good job of covering both men's and women's teams. I wouldn't be surprised to see a tween girl reading this mag, but it does still generally strike me as being a "boys read." On the downside, there are plenty of ads in the magazine, but on the plus side, at least some of them are for books. There are also articles about sports in the wider world. For example, in the December issue there was a story about Jewish and Muslim kids in Jerusalem playing on the same soccer teams.

Why it belongs in a Tween Collection: Magazines, and particularly sports magazines, are going to speak to a particular segment of reluctant readers. For these readers, Sports Illustrated Kids will be a great find.
