I will only review this one edition, although it stands for all the volumes in my collection from the beginning, in September of 1973 to May of 1978, when I felt I was too old to receive them anymore. These were wonderful magazines. Better quality than many of the paperback books which I had access to at the time. The contributors were first class authors and illustrators, the designs and humor were perfectly attractive to children without sounding condescending. I treasure each volume and remember the hours I spent pouring over them when they came. My mother knew I was good for nothing for the first couple of days after I received a Cricket magazine in the mail. ( )
