Review: Cars 2 Special Collector's Edition Magazine

In conjunction with the release of the movie, Disney also put out this 96-page magazine which re-tells the story of Cars 2. In addition to the full story, you’ll also find games, puzzles and posters in this fun magazine that’s aimed at a reading level of about second grade and up. The artwork is enjoyable for anyone who liked the movies and who enjoys Pixar films. I think the games and puzzles really sell the magazine–as a mom, anything that gets your kids to put down the video games is good, right? If you’re trying to sneak in some summer reading for your kids, this might be a good choice.

There is one possible flaw to this magazine. A lot of boys have moved on from Cars storyline by the time they’ve reached the reading level required to enjoy this book on their own. They might still enjoy the movie, but the Cars series is less interesting to most grade school boys than say, Star Wars or Harry Potter. My four-year old was more interested in this magazine than his older brother, but at his age, he’s not reading yet. I think it’s still a fun choice for kids and I’d definitely pick it up for a long road trip–the games alone make it worth the price. In fact, I think the games are the magazine’s strong point.

If you have a Cars fan in your house, regardless of age, definitely check out the magazine. For $9.99, it’s an entertaining read. Just be advised that while the format is little kid friendly, the words and storyline are more for a slightly older kid.
