All Round is a stunning magazine for children that champions people of all
ages who love Earth. It explores the intricate nature of the universe with
the aim of sparking the joy of living and learning in readers. Theme issues
cover subjects like Trees, Flying, Shelter, Being Born and Animal
Communication. Full color, lavishly hand-illustrated, and filled with
well-researched and unusual facts, stories, experiments, comics, games,
letters and activities, All Round uses every square inch of each page to
its fullest capacity. Readers travel the skies with Jakes, her little
brother Dustin, and their parents in a rambling farmhouse that floats
around the world at cloud level, stopping for adventures on firm ground below.
All Round sets itself apart by the way it looks and in its presentation.
Imagine a magazine for kids without a trace of condescension, never preachy
or political, that is completely ad-free, printed on 100% post-consumer
recycled paper, and that supports sustainability on the planet, equality
for all people, and the continual triumph of imagination and wonder. That's
All Round.
Issue #11, "All About Inventing," included more than fifty drawings sent in
by readers of inventions that would help Earth, like the "Plant Planting
Power Plant" by Jack Wooldrige, age 8, or the "Automatic Respect Machine"
by Isabel Downs, age 7. A page called "Inventing Yourself" invites readers
to design their own personal superhero profiles by answering questions like
"What are six things you absolutely want to do before you turn 100?"
The "Inventing" issue also offered a simple and satisfying answer to the
question "What does sustainable mean?" and included information on kid
inventors, an inventing game and a detailed reference page packed with
ideas for more ways to learn about the subject.
All Round is recommended for children of all ages and especially for
children 6-11. It's definitely engaging enough to hold the parents'
interest, too, if they read to or with their younger kids.
