Book Description

November 1, 2006 6 and up 1070L (What's this?)
To children, the world can seem huge, filled with exciting places to visit and new things to experience. But how can they start uncovering the many treasures that await them? This fun and informative guidebook—the first in a new series—invites kids to embark on an exhilarating scavenger hunt that opens their eyes to things they’ve never imagined before. And there’s no need to go far or plan a big, expensive vacation to see this great stuff. In fact, some of the places may be quite close to home. They can take a peek at what actually goes on at their parents’ office, experience another culture’s cuisine at an ethnic restaurant, immerse themselves in the beauty of nature at a wildlife preserve, or get the inside scoop on what really happens backstage at the theater…or even in the teacher’s lounge! And the ideas are just general enough to provide a gentle push in the right direction, while allowing young dreamers to use their imagination and fill in the specifics.
In addition to tons of fun facts, lists of little-known sites, and more than 250 color photos, there’s a bonus fold-out map of North America and stickers, so youngsters can mark where they’ve been.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for the whole family January 18, 2007
Format:Paperback
Don't know what to do on the weekend or short vacations with your kids? Here are some great and some simple ideas that your children will delight in. It was fun going through the book with my 10 year old grand daughter and identifying what she had done (quite a few of the things) and what things she wanted to do in the next 14 months before she turned 12. There is a check off list which is usually appealing to a preteen. Also it was fun to recollect the many things the family had done together. We had been to a pig pen and a working farm, dug for fossils, spent hours in a cemetary, the state capitol, an aquarium, a waterfall, backstage and so on. Among things to do: a jail, courthouse, working port, antiquarian book store and a few more things. I will give it to my other grandchildren on their birthdays. Great Gift, great fun, great learning experieinces, and great price.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great graduation gift May 12, 2007
Format:Paperback
Books that encourage one to aspire to see all the world great sites are inspiring, but it not realistic for everyone to see the Taj Mahal and Patagonia.

This book brings adventure closer to home, and is wonderfully flexible and practical. Everyone can and should see a Migration Path, a Fort, a Working Farm, a Street Market and the House Where Their Parents Grew Up.

Besides, who doesn't want to recapture those elementary years?

5.0 out of 5 stars A PERFECT BOOK! February 21, 2009
Format:Paperback
Not sure why there is an age of "12" other than it makes it a catchy title. But I stumbled upon this book looking for another book online. Wasn't sure if it would be worth purchasing. So I had the local library order it in for us to check out.

Well let me tell you...my son who is 11 yrs. old couldn't put it down, as well my youngest who is 8 yrs. old...we've done some of the things mentioned in the book. Which brought back memorys and great laughs of past things we've done together...And also has given us direction for scheduleing vacations in the future. Some of the things in there I wasn't even aware you could do! So much fun we're purchasing our own book so we can use the stickers to add to the pages as to which ones we've been to and such.

Definately worth the asking price. I love the place in front of the book that stores the stickers listing "Top 20", NO WAY!, Yawn Fest,This Rocks< Awesome adventure,Been there, way strange and "WISH LIST".

If your considering the book...DO SO! There are so many places to see that you wouldn't have "thought" of on your own I'm sure...it's cool to discuss things that we've not done and what we would like to do first. And again all the conversations we've had when we see stuff we've done already. It's like...CHECK IT OUT WE'VE DONE THAT ONE! Then we laugh and talk about the time we had doing that particular vacation or outing...
