Kids Travel: A Backseat Survival Kit Review

Kids Travel: A Backseat Survival Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My family went on a 12 hour car trip, and I purchased 2 of these-one for an 8 year old and one for a 5 year old. It was great for the 8 year old-he loved everything about it. It was a little over the 5 year olds head, but he had fun "pretending" to do everything. So, all in all, I am so glad I got the book-it made the trip fun--we all loved looking for new license plates!!

Rand McNally Kids' Road Atlas (Backseat Books) Review

Average Reviews:

I bought this expecting simple maps that my daughter could use to track the routes we were driving. Well, it's simplistic all right. It doesn't mark many of the cities we drive through. It is more of a car activity book. It's got puzzles and games to keep children busy, but its maps are more like general overviews of the states. For children younger than seven, this is probably good. Older children would most likely prefer a real road atlas with all the roads and cities marked.

Curious Kids' Activity Guide to Michigan (Curious Kids Guides) Review

We bought this book to use as part of our homeschooling unit on our homestate of Michigan. I have looked through several other books for kids about Michigan and I must say how impressed I am with this one. My 8 yr old daughter, 12 year old son and 14 yr old son all really like it. The actual color photos are great as some books just use illustrations. The book is written so a younger child can read it, but older kids can still enjoy it. We can't wait to take some of the day trips that the book recommends.

How to Fit a Car Seat on a Camel: And Other Misadventures Traveling with Kids Review

Received this "How to Fit a Car Seat on a Camel" as a gift and practically wet myself reading the stories. Some were seriously hilarious, some were ew-w-w, some were really quite touching.
This is the perfect book to take along on a trip, when you want only short easy things to read. And, maybe, reading about someone else's misadventures will make whatever problems you're facing seem minor in comparison.
Anyway, I always think that books make great gifts and this one would be perfect for mothers of small children. After receiving and reading it, I bought another copy for a friend. She immediately bought another copy for another friend.
It's that kind of book.

Discovered exactly how many renditions of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" it takes for you to pull the car to the side of the road and weep?

We all have memories of a hideous yet hilarious family trip.
