Kayak grows up, from digest to comic book-size

Kayak, the children's history magazine from the publishers of The Beaver, is growing up. Starting with its January-February issue (#19) that should be landing in mailboxes in the next week or so, the digest is increasing to more of a "comic book" size 6-1/4” x 9-3/8.

The publishers, Canada's National History Society, have always had a warm relationship with the Hudson's Bay Company (Hbc), which started The Beaver many years ago and endowed the Society to carry it on. The support continues with a new feature racking program at Hbc’s Zeller’s stores with checkout counter positioning and premium placement on their main magazine lines with Kayak racks designed for the new format.
