Editorial Reviews

This book certainly lives up to its name, appearing on the Publisher's Weekly list of bestselling children's travel books. There are hours of fun in this big book of puzzles, mazes, connect-the-dots, and color-by-number activities.

Customer Reviews

Great book for your young readers.

Reviewed by Amy, mom to 3, 2010-02-01

I got this for my 3 1/2 year old and 5 year old. It's great for the 5 year old, but too challenging for a non-reader to figure out on their own (and it's that the point of a travel book?) Even my 5 year old needs explanation on some of the activities, but she's only beginning to read. Overall, a great activity book, but will best occupy a child that reads.

Great entertainment for travelling Children

Reviewed by Onlynire, 2010-01-04

I bought this as a "going away" gift for my 7 year old nephew so he would have some non-video game entertainment on his flight to England. He immediately started in on the puzzles and really seemed to enjoy it. The only thing that would make this activity book better is if it was spiral bound to make it easier to color and work on the puzzles.

Great Actvity Book

Reviewed by Kaytie Carroll, 2009-08-02

I got these for my 3 and 6 year old. They are full of activities that both of them can do. There are lots of mazes, coloring activities, and puzzles for them to do.

Great book, arrived too late.

The book is great, but be sure to order it at least two months before you travel. I ordered mine one month in advance, and received it only upon returning from our trip. Too bad; we'll store it until our next trip, or use it as a regular activity notebook.

Good Book of Pencil/Coloring Games

Reviewed by bethlovesbooks, 2009-05-19


I've purchased three of the books in this series, one for each of our children for our upcoming trip. Of the three (Kid's Road Atlas, Are We There Yet, and the Best Travel Activity Book Ever), this one is the most like a coloring book (basic black and white pages) and the thickest (most pages)

Highlights:

*Lots of dot-to-dot--some color by number, mazes, spot the differences, drawing, and puzzles that answer a riddle. The book would be good for 5 and up....some reading skills (or someone helping who can read) would be required for parts.

*This book would work for a broad variety of ages...my five-year old would need some help, but would enjoy it, some parts would be too simplistic for my 7 and 9 year olds, though they would enjoy other parts. Probably best for 5-7 I'd say.

*Crayons required...not just pencil.

*Good value for the $...more engaging than just a plain old coloring book. Some educational value in there...but mostly just fun.
