What rubbish! I got the September/October issue of this magazine (which isnt' cheap by any means!) and the stories were EXACTLY the same as an issue my daughter had from about a YEAR GO!!! I couldn't believe it and she was really disappointed. Strangely enough this has happened before a long time ago and I'd forgotten all about it until my husband reminded me. Don't they have enough writers or something? For the cover price of $4.50 you'd think so! Crazy that stories are repeated! It makes the surprise of your little girls magazine a big let down and especially upsetting for a parent who is on a very very tight budget but wants to give a special treat to her little girl.
