If you guys haven't heard yet, there is actually a News Magazine App designed on the iPad, made for kids, and it's called Timbuktu. The statement, " NEWS Magazine and Kids," was so crazy to me at first. I would never think in a million years that children would have an interest in reading or watching the news. As a child, I grew up on cartoons and Barbie, not the New York Times and CNN. The new generation will be well educated and aware of what goes on in the world around them, which is rare these days.
Timbuktu makes it easy and entertaining for kids to understand complex issues. For example, with everything that occurred in India recently, the app simplifies this in a way kids can grab the concept of what's happening.

As you can see, Timbuktu uses bold colors and pictures to draw the readers in, which is excellent for kids, and is still extremely educational.
