Sample copies of various children's magazines are available free upon written request. Most sample copies, while free, will require a SAE (signed, addressed envelope) and sufficient return postage. A request for a free sample copy of a children's magazine does not place you under any obligation to subscribe. The sample copy is yours to keep at no charge, regardless.
