dig, published with the Archaeological Institute of America, lets young people share in the thrill of archaeological discovery while learning about the cultural, scientific, and architectural traits and beliefs of different societies. Recent developments in the field of archaeology form the magazine's core subject matter. Each issue focuses on one theme, providing a broad understanding of the topic. Colorful graphics, photos, puzzles, games, and hands-on projects enhance cognitive and critical thinking skills.

"We know what high quality is," says Jack Olbrych, publisher of the Cricket Magazine Group, commenting on the company's philosophy. "We create material that is stimulating and challenging, we do not talk down to children, and we do not rely on market surveys to tell us what kids like. We select the best articles, stories, and art in a way that inspires and challenges. We will not sink to the level of the lowest common denominator. Rather, we will lead the rest of the industry to higher standards of excellence."

Together, the Cricket Magazine Group and Cobblestone Publishing are the premier publisher of children's magazines in the country.
