[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This magazine is a joke. I bought this because my 4 year old is always hopeful that he has mail, and when we got the first subscription I couldn’t believe that They even ship this out. It’s 10 pages, a third of it is ads, half of it is useless information that doesn’t pertain to animals (like the most recent issue, they are talking about how many gems are on queens crown?) My son doesn’t even want to read it. I don’t want to read it to him. I am so pissed that I bought this, I was hoping for an actual magazine size that had cool pictures of animals and stories, this is NOT it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I see lots of reviews stating there\'s too much advertising, etc. Well apparently National Geographic got the message because this is an excellent magazine! My daughter loves them and looks forward to them so much. They have lots of activities in addition to tons of facts. I would not pay the "retail price" for a subscription, but if you find it on sale, around Christmas, or buy the subscription through the Animal Jam site, it\'s definitely worth it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Odd how so many came at the same time for the first shipment, but my kid loves them. We burned through the first few because they are so fun. Great pictures, mad libs, and bite-sized info....'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Did not get a full years worth I got 3 at one time and only have had one since.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Bought it as an educational magazine for my daughter. There are only a few pages, it took a while to get the first issue and was disappointed because there was not much reading in it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "The 11 year old nephew got this for his birthday and he loves it. Lots of pics and the articles are pages and pages long. That said, these things are maybe a dozen pages thick.... which makes it seem a bit steep on the price for what you're getting."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My neice and nephew loved these magazines. Great learning tool or girls and boys. They enjoyed the jokes and collecter cards that they could cut out and safe. Fun and makes a nice subscription to look forward to.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'It should be called a pamphlet instead of a magazine. The one in the pics is all of 22 pages. Not worth the price.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "The magazine itself is wonderful. However, the delivery is way off. I thought I'd be receiving one magazine a month, but instead I get two or three on a random cycle. If this was fixed, I would have a five star review for sure!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "When a copy comes our kids (twins age 6) practically rip it from my hands and read and reread the issue. And then spend the next week telling me trivia about various animals and places.\n\nThe content is OK, a mix of cool animals, technology and history with some pop culture tie ins which is a bit worrying.\n\nA recent issue featured Princess Elsa, just in time for Frozen 2. Another had Mulan, just in time for her live action film, and an article on Pixlar's upcoming film onward. This becomes more alarming when I found out that Nat Geo for Kids is no longer owned by the National Geographic society but by 21st Century Fox/Disney. So this can no longer be thought of as a purely educational magazine but part of a multimedia empire's cross-marketing strategy. The constant plugs for Nat Geo's kids books is also annoying, although I generally find their books are pretty good.\n\nSo it's great to inspire a love of travel, science and reading, but parents should be aware there are some other motivations at work here."}]
