myBOOKSmag is a 24 page, A4 full colour magazine for 5-7 year olds. With a mix of book-related activities and extracts from recently published titles, it sets out to enhance the reading experience. With reviews written by its readers (sometimes with the assistance of a grown-up) it aims to reflect what children of this age enjoy reading. The current issue includes words searches, how to draw cartoon characters, Rita the Rescuer and her adventures saving those in need, The Secret Life of Ms Wiz and what her author thinks of her! There are poems from Ted Hughes’s The Cat and the Cuckoo and a Jez Alborough Q&A where readers ask their own questions. And, of course, there’s the review section – where young readers can see what other readers thought of the books they might enjoy.
