From Robin, Autumn's mom:
Autumn has been receiving Tessy and Tab since before she was able to read and it has remained among her favorites. She just turned 5 in April and began reading on her own earlier in the year so it is an exciting time for her and Tessy and Tab magazines/books are wonderful. We just put them right on the bookshelf and keep them all, so it adds to our at-home library and Autumn gets to read them again and again. Recently, she pulled out one of the issues where Tessy and Tab make masks and decided to do it herself too. It was fun.
Her favorite thing, lately, has been to recreate Tessy and Tab adventures with her own animals and figurines. She usually begins with a story line from one of the issues and then weaves in her own details and ideas and ends up with quite an adventure and attentively playing for 20-30 minutes.
To say that we enjoy Tessy and Tab and find them useful and valuable, especially now that Autumn is a beginning reader, is an understatement and the excitement goes well beyond Autumn enjoying getting her own mail. We were delighted to send a gift subscription to one of our nieces for her birthday in February and hear that she's enjoying them too.
Oh, and I think we'll enjoy the questions more than the coloring page. Autumn never wanted to color hers because she views them as books rather than magazines so I think it was a good and value added move that will benefit all the young minds who enjoy Tessy and Tab.
