LCD Publishing launches "It's For Boys"

Exeter-based LCD Publishing will launch a new title aimed at 5-7 year-old boys this Friday (22nd June 2012).

It’s For Boys, a new 13 issue a year title priced £2.50 is, according to distributors COMAG, “designed to make learning fun for boys, every issue will be crammed full of activities, stories and games using some of the most popular TV characters around."

Every issue of the 32-page It’s For Boys title will include numbering, spelling, counting, matching and observational activities designed to educate and entertain early-learners.

Featuring characters such as Garfield, Scooby-Doo, Spider-Man, Mr. Bean and Spongebob Squarepants, the publishers hope It’s For Boys will encourage young boys that learning can be fun.

As is almost the norm these days, every issue will have a covermounted gift. Number 1 will come with three great racing cars.

We can only assume that if this is a success the publishers, whose titles include Pony World and Action GTX, will look at other titles in the same vein. Surely It's For Girls can't be far behind?

LCD Publishing launches Pony World

Pony World, a new six-weekly title from Exeter-based LCD Publishing (also publishers of Action GTX), goes on sale 13th April, priced £2.75.
“Most young girls love ponies, but for many of them, the dream of owning one themselves is not a realistic ambition," said a spokesperson for the magazine's distributor, Comag.

"For all others, learning about them, is as close they will ever get."

Aimed at 4-7-year old girls who are mad about ponies, every issue of Pony World will be a 32-page magazine packed full of pony stories and adventures, great horse puzzles, magical pony posters, colour-me-ins, quizzes and lots of other pony activities and fun.

(No info on comic strip, but good to see another girls title launching hot on the heels of the launch of Egmont's Monster High).


The publishers say Pony World will appeal to both those young girls who may be horse riders or are just simply fascinated by the world of ponies and want to learn more about them.
Every issue of Pony World will carry free gifts, with issue No.1 bagged with no less than 23 great goodies, including lipgloss, body gems, rings and tattoo.

The launch issue will also feature a competition to win a My Little Pony Ponyville playset.
