Because many fans have subscribed to "Curiosity", let's first draw the key points about the distinction between the two magazines:
1. The content of "Curiosity" is mainly popular science; "Creation Nation" focuses more on STEAM+ craftsmanship, including science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics, and benchmarks the core sciences, humanities, and arts of the United States (CCSS/NGSS). 2. "Curiosity" has been released for many years, precipitated many users, and the market reputation is very stable; "Creation Country" is the first issue in January 2023, just launched, because it is still in the promotion period, so now the subscription also comes with a plant box; 3. All of them are 12 issues a year, and 1 issue is mailed every month. Each issue of "Creation Country" is 2 copies, 128 pages of the main issue + 24 pages of the free issue of the Maker Camp; Each issue of "Curiosity" is 3 copies, 64 pages * 2 pages + 32 free pages. In terms of total pages, the two magazines are about the same; 4. The content sources are all taken from several English original magazines, such as ask\muse\faces\cricket\spider, etc., and the two magazines will not have duplicate content;
5. The bilingual content of "Curiosity" is a 32-page free publication; Each issue of "Creative Country" will have some original English short articles and poems, and there will be original audio when scanned by scanning the code.
So 👆 the above is the difference between the two magazines, as for those who have subscribed to "Curiosity", is it necessary to subscribe to "Creation Country"? ——The two magazines will not overlap in content, the focus is different, if the child likes the content style of "Curiosity" very much, and also has good reading habits and needs, and wants to add STEAM-related content, it is possible to subscribe to "Creation Country" at the same time.
Next, let's introduce "Cricket" Cricket Media:
Cricket Media is the most prestigious professional children's magazine publisher in the United States, and its more than ten award-winning brand magazines are collectively known as "cricket children's books", covering many fields, suitable for readers of different ages aged 0-14, and have been popular in the United States and even the world for nearly 100 years! These magazines are common publications in American libraries, primary and secondary schools, and many middle-class American families will subscribe to Cricket's magazines!
However, for domestic children, especially those who are relatively young and have just started English, the original popular science book has more words and professional terms, which is difficult and easy to affect understanding.
Today, I recommend Cricket Media Cricket Group's STEAM Chinese popular science magazine tailored for Chinese children - "Cricket Creation Country". This is also the official STEAM-themed magazine released by Cricket Media Chinese

Chinese and American editors work together
More suitable for Chinese children
As a children's magazine brand with a history of nearly 100 years, Cricket Media has won many awards in the children's publishing category internationally, and has countless loyal readers around the world, including Spanish and other multilingual versions.
Although it has attracted a large number of "little cricket fans" in China, how to show the unique style of cricket magazines while closely following the interests and concerns of Chinese children has always been a problem for the editors of cricket magazines. "Start a magazine for Chinese children and open up a space for them to imagine and create." When this bold idea gradually took shape, "Cricket Creation Country" came into being.
As the youngest member of the cricket family, "Cricket Creation Country" relies on massive publishing resources, including more than 20 children's magazines under Cricket Media, as well as "Encyclopedia Britannica" and "Time Magazine" children's edition magazines, etc., more than 100,000 magazines, children's books, e-books, audio and other resources have been published, and this number is still being refreshed every day...
These are all due to a professional and experienced editorial team.
In order to satisfy the precious curiosity of children and make the magazine more suitable for Chinese children, the Chinese and American editorial teams work closely together, maintain weekly conference calls, countless email communication, from theme planning, column setting, to the naming of cartoon characters, the use of a punctuation, all of which have been repeatedly discussed, from which countless creative sparks collide. Jim O'Connor, editor-in-chief of Cricket Media magazine, is led by a group of senior editors with a childlike heart and years of experience in children's magazine planning -
- Kathleen Andersen, editor of Ladybug magazine
- Liz Huyck, editor of Ask magazine
- Stacey Lane Smith, Editor of Spider Magazine
- Joseph Taylor, editor of Muse magazine
With the strong support of American editors, the Chinese editorial team has repeatedly adjusted the structure, polished the content, and optimized the design. In particular, the localization of content is even more painstaking: content that is not familiar to Chinese young readers should add background knowledge links, and reflect the latest domestic scientific research achievements and discoveries...
