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.

Our 5 yr old loved this activity book. It kept her busy on an eight hour road trip. She never wanted the dvd player on.

We drove 20 hours to Texas with a 5 and 10 year old - they watched DVDs played nintendo and also completed EVERY single page in this book and were sad to reach the end. Best money ever spent on an activity book. Book is fairly thick - maybe 50 pages - puzzles were to hard for 5 year old without help.

This is a good buy for young children. I was impressed with the variety. But many 8 year olds will find it too simple. For kids getting tired of coloring books, you might want to look into a Klutz book or something more exciting.

My 5 year old daughter was mesmerized by this book
on a 5 hour plane ride - highly recommended.

This kept my 5 and 7 year olds busy for part of a long car ride...nice selection of things to do.

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.

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.

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.

This book was wonderful for my 4 year old on a 3 hour plane ride! Lots of interesting things to keep her busy.
