Not only are the magazines very high quality, on par with quality paperback books, but the content is so fun to read! Sometimes I feel like I enjoy reading them more than my kids do! We enjoy learning about different parts of History and it gives us a lot of conversation points to keep us closer.
Aside from the content and quality being great, I genuinely have to give a lot of credit to the customer service department that has helped me multiple times when I've made mistakes with my orders like forgetting to select my 3 prefered issues for the quarter and correcting it to the ones i wanted. They do these things with the kind of Customer focused treatment that everyone WISHES companies had! When I was struggling to keep my son's subscription they found a way to make it work for us so that he could continue getting it for the next year, that really showed me their commitment to educated kids and keeping it accessible. I will absolutely be continuing my subscription with Honest History and can't recommend enough how great they are!

It seems like a lot at first, but these are incredibly high quality and will last longer than a normal trade paperback book. I think that's pretty remarkable and makes it worth it.

Also their credit system is AMAZING! You earn $10 everytime you get a shipment of magazines, so after only a few shipments you can pay for another 3 magazines entirely with credit!

We LOVE Honest History! It keeps my kids engaged and learning so much more than if I were to just do unit studies or a worksheet.

Years ago, Honest History was a great magazine for my daughter when she was younger. I recently returned to it by purchasing the America turns 250 issue to use as one of my primary texts for a 3rd and 4the grade summer school course about early America. It was the perfect tool for this as well. What a balanced source as well as a lot of fun.
