I have been sick as a dog for the last couple of days, and I had the opportunity to finish up my search. There is not a terriffic amount out there, but there are some very nice publications for children.

One that has not gotten mention is "My Big Back Yard." It seems to pretty perfect for the younger crowd. It is marketed to 3 to 7s.

The other that I found is called Zoo Books. I found it on Amazon. It seems targeted for the 9 to 12s. I ordered a subscription for one of my nieces.

I ordered Ranger Rick and National Geographic Kids as well. Thanks for the suggestions.
