“My daughter Rita has had a Beano subscription for over a year and can’t wait for her comic to arrive. She reads it from cover to cover and is proud of her collection.

She adores the fantastic artwork and engaging writing, and has transformed her into an avid reader and something of a keen prankster.”

–– Simon, parent

“When my son’s Beano comes through the post, everything stops until he's looked through every page then he'll read it from front to back.”
–– Pippa, parent

“God bless Beano for bringing an hour of calm to our household on Saturday mornings. It's the gift that keeps on giving.”
