Calliope is the perfect passport to world history magazine. Written for kids ages 9 to above (grades 4 and up), Calliope goes beyond the "facts" to explore provocative issues. Kids will learn about the people and events that shaped world history - Napoleon, Tang Dynasty, Galileo, and more.

Summary: VERY educational world history mag
Comment: When I was in elementary and junior high school, I thought learning about ancient civilizations was incredibly boring. But CALLIOPE presents information that actually makes world history interesting. The magazine's editors and writers make sure that readers understand how societies of long ago are making an impact in our lives right now. And that's worth learning about! The variety of topics covered (each issue has a theme) is outstanding--from the French Revolution to the dynasties of China to the Olympic games, just to name a few. The stories and activities are engaging. The photos and illustrations are top-notch. Only criticism I have--I wish CALLIOPE would come out 12 times a year instead of nine!

Summary: Calliope
Comment: Calliope is a great resource for budding history buffs and teachers alike; each theme-based issue explores a topic in-depth, providing the reader with all sorts of fascinating information. Non-fiction articles, activities, and maps help explain some of the most interesting topics in world history. (Ancient Rome, Ramesses the Great, Genghis Kahn, and the Greek Olympics are just some of the recent and upcoming themes.) Calliope is geared towards kids 9 and up; however, some of the articles would be better suited for the 11 and up set (at times, the writing style seems more middle school than elementary school appropriate). Even so, bright and ambitious 9 year olds probably wouldn't have too hard a time unpacking the articles in Calliope. Each issue includes several hands-on activities, as well as word puzzles, riddles, and mazes. In all, Calliope is a fantastic magazine that will keep kids reading month after month.

Summary: Calliope/Cobblestone - love them!
Comment: I ordered these magazines for my daughters and they really love them. They are worth the expense. A nice fit for reading during breakfast or a snack. The magazines explore topics that are not emphasized in our school curriculum. Bravo!
