Aww. Didn't think anyone cared
I got a monkey and octopus for my baby nephew. They are both super cute. The time for science will come, eventually.

Same here. I used to love biology ones too. I remember being bought this magazine when I was really young where each issue came with parts of a model of the human anatomy. Each issue would come with an organ for example and I just remember learning a lot and being totally fascinated by it all. Ancient Egypt was another massive interest for me when I was young.. As well as the typical obsession with dinosaurs

.
Oh and I also remember a currency of the world magazine where each issue would alternate between a coin and banknote in foreign currency. I had this master plan to save up all the notes (e.g. $5000 note in currency from Mozambique) and exchange them all to become rich

...As you can imagine, the concept of exchange rates was a fatal blow to my childhood dream.
