Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My daughter received a subscription to High Five as a gift. This is a version of the magazine for younger children...from Highlights. She loves it. In one of the magazines, at the back, there was a little scratch game. You had to scratch the pieces and if you had three matches you could win a FREE book and a FREE tote bag. So of course we won. My daughter was very excited and I thought it was pretty cool myself. A couple weeks later we get some Highlights puzzle magazines in the mail...didn't think anything of it. This morning my wife and daughter are having fun doing activities in these magazines and I start to wonder, out loud, why they gave these to us. I start sifting through all the papers and find an invoice that says we owe $2.45 for S&H and $5.49 for one of the puzzle "books" (they're actually magazines)...and a couple more that are "free". Then I come across another piece of paper that informs me that they will send me the "free" tote once I send them the money. This absolutely infuriates and disgusts me. How can they take something fun and innocent and turn it into something ugly. I remember having Highlights when I was a kid! I'm looking for alternative activity books for my daughter as I was planning on continuing the subscription when it ended.
