My Thoughts
Having grown up enjoying my monthly Highlights Magazine, I think I am more excited over Our Favorite Books From The Highlights Holiday List than my kids. The Things to Draw and the Things to Write books are perfect gifts to spark creativity in your little ones.
And the Best Hidden Pictures Puzzles Ever had me feeling like a toddler, clutching MY book and telling the kids “MINE”! Just kidding I really didn’t say mine..although I thought it. Now the Almanac of Fun has been the most read book by far around our dinner table. There are so many interesting facts that make terrific conversation starters.
Adults will love the Dear Highlights: What Adults Can Learn from 75 Years of Letters and Conversations with Kids book. Wow! I can’t get over how Highlights editorial staff has answered every submission sent to them over the years! What a testimony to how important this brand feels children are to the future.
