Roar into Learning with Lions and Legends!

This month’s MiniMag invites readers to enter a world of power, mystery, and movement—where roaring lions roam, ancient warriors rise, and fungi light up the forest floor. The August 2025 issue, titled Lions and Legends, blends biology, history, science and imagination into a rich adventure for curious minds.

Whether your child is fascinated by wild animals, obsessed with roller coasters, or curious about the cosmos, Lions and Legends offers something for every kind of learner.

What makes Lions and Legends special?

At MiniMag, every issue is designed to spark imagination while grounding kids in real-world knowledge. This month, we focus on themes of strength, survival, and exploration—highlighting creatures and people who’ve adapted, innovated, and stood the test of time.

Lions and Legends is more than a theme—it’s a journey across continents, time periods, and ecosystems. Kids will meet the kings of the savannah, the warriors of feudal Japan, the thrill-seekers of Formula One, and the creatures that live high in the forest canopy.

What’s inside the August 2025 issue:

Lion Power
Our cover story introduces kids to one of the planet’s most iconic predators: the African lion. We explore how lion prides work, how these big cats hunt, and why their numbers are under threat. Readers will learn about conservation efforts, lion habitats, and what makes these animals both feared and admired.

Samurai Spotlight
In our history feature, we take a journey to Japan to uncover the world of the samurai. From bushidō to armour, young readers will learn what life was really like for these legendary warriors—and how their discipline and code of honour continue to influence modern martial arts and leadership.

Formula One and Fast Facts
Speed takes centre stage with a full-throttle feature on Formula One racing. Kids will learn about famous drivers, record-breaking races, and how these high-tech machines stay glued to the track. We also dive into the history of the Grand Prix and the science behind speed.

Europa-Park Adventure
MiniMag visits Europa-Park in Germany—one of Europe’s most exciting theme parks. With roller coasters, country-themed zones, and family-friendly thrills, it’s a cultural and sensory adventure kids won’t forget.

Life in the Trees
From tree frogs to flying squirrels, treetop habitats are full of surprises. This issue introduces readers to the incredible animals who live above ground—using camouflage, claws, gliding membranes and song to survive in the canopy.

The Weird World of Fungi
One of the most surprising stories in Lions and Legends is about mushrooms. Glowing fungi, zombie spores, underground networks—kids will discover that fungi aren’t just weird… they’re essential to life on Earth.

Octopuses, Lizards and Giraffes
Science continues with deep dives into the lives of some of nature’s most fascinating animals:

• Octopuses with their incredible intelligence and camouflage

• Lizards that lose their tails and run on two legs

• Giraffes, the peaceful giants of Africa, with towering necks and surprisingly strong hearts

Activities, Puzzles and Experiments
The issue also includes science experiments, crosswords, brain teasers and a hands-on project to grow your own mushroom spores at home—perfect for turning curiosity into action.
