A subscription to Adventist Review includes KidsView, a monthly (12 issues per year) 8-page, full-color magazine for kids ages 8-12 or grades 3-6. Each issue carries a variety of stories, devotionals, activities, recipes, puzzles, student writing, and the one-of-a-kind calendar that lists something to read, do, or learn each day of the month!

KidsView began in 2002 as a 4-page, full-color magazine inserted into Adventist Review. In 2008, the page count increased to eight. That same year, KidsView was distributed to all North American Division Adventist schools for grades 3 to 6 as a stand-alone edition. We also launched our website. Now, 16 years later, KidsView continues to serve the great kids living in the United States, Canada, and Guam! Enjoy our website and all that KidsView offers each month. Don’t miss an issue!
