 Yes, cool, for the modern parent September 27, 2006
Icicle (Vermont)
26 out of 47 found this review helpful
For $10 a year, at least I can look at a magazine that isn't dominated by SpongeBrand Squarepants or Dora the Commercialized Explorer and that realizes not every parent thinks the Disney Princess pastel hegemony is the only way to go for a nursery. Will I pay $200 for a sweater? Very doubtful, but if I did it would be something I could pass down as an heirloom. True, I may spend more per item on my daughter's clothes and toys than most, but I also limit the number of things she does receive. I'd rather spend $100 on one unique toy I found in Cookie than give her twenty pieces of plastic at $5 a pop from some toy megapolis. Cookie covers quality over quantity, style over branding, modern over mainstream and for that I'm grateful.
Highlights cool stuff for parents and kids April 21, 2006

Yeah, some of the stuff is way too pricey for me, but there are some really great ideas and articles in this magazine. I have the March-April issue, and among my favorites this month are: an article about how to diplomatically discipline other people's kids, a gifted child who was misdiagnosed with autism, best adult friendly children's music to download, and suggestions for artistic children's books. Furthermore, there is a price range for suggested products, some of which would fit most people's budgets. An article on make-up features products from $8 - $65. There is also an article on how to make a room habitable for 2 children, which is hardly targeted towards people who live in huge estates. Do you buy Vogue magazine and expect to be able to afford everything in it? It's not for some people, but it is for me, and I hope it does well.
 Not a magazine for *real* parents... February 9, 2006
Wendy N. Kruger (Ft. Collins, CO USA)

Finally, a magazine that represents everything that's wrong with modern day parenting--overindulgence, adults who have children because "it's the thing to do" for "status" (much like vacationing in an exotic location), and parents who aren't willing to forego self-absorption to raise a well-balanced child. Let's not forget living vicariously through our children (overscheduled children in way too many activities that lead to burn-out, because Laurel *has* to have ballet, French lessons, pilates, and viola lessons in order to be "well-rounded.") Interestingly enough, the Editor-in-Chief was raised by a single parent...it's a shame she has ignored a large portion of the real world with this magazine. --Nadine (a single parent who knows the sheer *waste* of spending $200+ on a pair of boots for a child with ever-growing feet!)
 Worst Magazine I've Seen In Years February 20, 2006

I picked up this magazine on a whim while standing in the checkout line at the grocery store. I'll admit that the cover looked interesting, especially since I have a 20 month old toddler. After I actually looked at the content of the magazine, I came away puzzled. I'm not sure who their target demographic is. It seems like it's published to cater to a small niche of very high income parents. And by high income, I'm not referring to upper-middle class. This magazine seems aimed at the family who lives in a mutli-million dollar apartment in a neighborhood such as Park Slope, Brooklyn. There are no parenting tips in here. Instead it's a style magazine that is thinly disguised as a parenting magazine. In the world of Cookie, it's all about the haves and the have-nots. I threw my issue in the trash.
This magazie will never make it. December 2, 2005

The products and clothes they feature are way too expensive and most of them are advertisers anyways. Lame articles. I'll be surprised if it lasts 6 mos.
