Fun to Learn Friends Magazine
No. 251
Age range: 3 - 7
Price: £2.99
Society is usually familiar with the contents of magazines, which are published for adults. This course presented an opportunity to discover and evaluate a children’s magazine for the class. The reviewed magazine is one of the series of Fun to Learn- Friends by Redan Publishing Ltd. Each magazine of Fun to Learn- Friends covers an issue. The 251st is focused on Halloween, which is the dominant theme of the month.
The magazine’s cover and the inside pages are both illustrated and decorated with children’s favorite latest cartoon characters, such as, Peppa Pig, Dora the Explorer, Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom, Poppy Cat…etc. Subsequent to the cover page, the reader will meet the well-structured and adorned table of contents, which is categorized into four major parts; Stories, Make, Games, and Prizes. Under the Stories part it is mentioned four titles of the stories which the child is going to meet afterwards in the magazine, that are the following: Ben & Holly- Halloween Party, Wubbzy- A magical Halloween, Poppy- the magic show, Bedtime Tale- Bedtime without Arthur. Likewise, under the Make part, meaning the craft part, is stated three titles; Rosie- Jelly Jack O’Lanterns, Charley- Magic tricks, and Peppa- trick or treat boxes. Similar to the previous two parts, the third part, which is the Games includes the following: Humf- Trick or treat game, Raa Raa- Big roar code, Clifford- Halloween trail maze. And the last group is the Prizes containing Jake & the Neverland Pirates- Win duvet sets. As it is stated, before the name of the story, craft, game or the prize, there is a character to guide the child in each part. Beside each subtitle there is its page number, that helps the child to get used to the systematic form, and will have a clearer image of the content in the mind of the child.

    The book is known for its playful, circular pattern. A boy gives a cookie to a mouse. The mouse asks for a glass of milk. He then requests a straw (to drink the milk), a mirror (to avoid a milk mustache), nail scissors (to trim his hair), and a broom (to sweep up). Next he wants to take a nap, to have a story read to him, to draw a picture, and to hang the drawing on the refrigerator.

In order to maintain their power over the colonists and show that they were still dominant, they issued the Declaratory Act.

With the success of their protests against the stamp act, the colonists gain a sense of power against the british and proceeded to fight against parliament as they did the year prior towards the implication of taxes upon the colonies (history.com staff). Although many basked in glory over their “victory”, many…
