The Minderbinder Review of Books
Boys Should Read Kazoo, Too

A big problem with boys is that they don't seem to know how to go about seeing the complete girl; how to care enough and respect enough to know why girls are just as smart, inventive, creative and inquisitive as they are (and, often times, more so)--which is to say: boys would do well to start reading Kazoo, a magazine that supports girls, helps them become more aware of their place in the world, and offers them ways to communicate with their brains and their hearts--something boys will appreciate someday if and when they decide to grow up.

Great inspiration for girls

My 8 year old loves this magazine, she reads it cover to cover and gets really excited when it comes. It's a little expensive but that's because there are NO ADS! And without pressure from clothing and makeup companies, there is no pressure to show how girls "ought to be". So this magazine shows how girls are not what society thinks they should look like, and says they can do whatever they want. Many of the articles and projects come from professional women doing the activity as their career. There are projects from women chefs, engineers, biologists, etc. It also has arts and crafts, music, etc. So it's not dictating what girls should like, just offering great content on what real girls actually do like.
