Description
 
 

MUSE is a nonfiction magazine for children ages 8 to 14 sponsored by Smithsonian magazine and featuring much of the Smithsonian's research and vast collections. MUSE has exciting articles on topics ranging from art to zoology, with just about everything in between. Written and designed to get children to ask questions and think for themselves, MUSE poses problems that don't always have clear answers:

  • Can you "fix" nature?
  • Do animals think?
  • What is art?
  • What really happened to the dinosaurs?

Many of the articles are written by experts in their fields, brimming with the enthusiasm the authors feel for their work. 48 full-color pages offer stunning photographs and vibrant illustrations.

My 8-year-old daughter has subscriptions to eight different magazines, but MUSE has been her favorite for the last two years. The magazine has a colorful, engaging layout, humorous captions and cartoons (by Young Scholar favorite cartoonist Larry Gonick), and interesting, in-depth articles. I highly recommend this magazine, along with all the magazines published by The Cricket Magazine Group.

I began getting MUSE when I was eight, and loved it. Although I have now advanced beyond its content, I still pick it up in the library occasionally. I invariably find at least one humorous (and interesting) article on topics ranging from the history of zippers to nanotechnology. I highly recommend this magazine to any gifted young person.
