Anyone remember this magazine? I was subscribed to it when I was younger, and I was wondering who else read this magazine. I remember I used to look for the Goofus and Gallant section. Gallant was such an ass kisser. I also enjoyed reading the timbertoes (I think that was the name?), and I liked the sections where you were supposed to find the hidden objects and circle them. I thought the magazine was really fun & educational with all the short stories, advice columns, and had lots of arts & crafts ideas. Anyone else like reading highlights?

Whoops Sorry, didn't know. Then disregard the thread if you want to.
thats completely allright, only the mods can do that though
Oh yes. I remember those, epecially goofus & gallant. Those dudes knew how to party.
And yeah, it seemed like every dentist had an endless supply of these things.
I think these magazines were for parents who wanted their kids to learn. I made my folks get me ninja turtles magazines instead, cause I would trade learning for karate chopping stuff anyday.

I used to look at Highlights in all of the waiting rooms I've been to in the past as a kid. I always had to read that tinker toy people comic strip that was always in each issue. I usually never got a chance to ever do any of the activities since other kids would always beat me to the punch.

I remember when I was in first grade we would have contests to see who could complete the "hidden picture" activity first. I think I ended up getting a subscription to the magazine solely for the "hidden picture" thing.
I remember it. The only thing I actually read/did was the hidden pictures.

That was my favorite too. I don't know about you, but Goofus had MY vote :D
Highlights ROCKS I used to get them as a kid. I still read them when I'm at my cousin's house her sons now gets it.
