I looked this article up because I had a Ranger Rick subscription gifted to me when I was around age 7 (early 80s). I am glad RR still exists, but am disappointed in the article. Unfortunately, it reads like a press release. I think it needs more work. I will try to improve it if I can, but I think such a great resource for children on the subject/s of nature/conservation deserves a better entry here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.172.134.46 (talk) 09:02, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article STILL reads like a press release (advertising material) seven years later. Someone would do well to clean it up. 24.52.21.30 (talk) 18:24, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
