Titling for the online magazine cover

Sweet and simple title that shouts fun. Using the hyperbolic language 'totally awesome' to add the sensation of excitement and thrill. The sub-heading uses a play on word 'turt-ally.' Altering the word totally. Giving the phrase a charm.  

Paragraphing & terminology:
Introduces more complex terminology to expand children's vocabulary. The reason why many children magazines do this is that parents are the ones buying the product, therefore to be worthwhile they may choose something educational. Hence why they use sofisiscated terminology to perhaps persuade parents to buy the product. In this scenario, they used the term 'Testidines' and gives a brief summary of the definition, 'reptiles' 'including turtles, tortoises and terrapins.'

The paragraphs are adjective packed. The meaning behind this is that it allows young individuals to improve their communication skills and also understand with ease. 

!?
Each point is emphasized with an exclamation mark (!). To make it just that more interesting. Magazine writers may do this since children are known for their short attention spans. 

Rhetorical questions
Asks the viewers for their general opinion. Since the magazine editors have little knowledge of how younger audiences respond to the information.
