Review

"My tween-age daughter fell in love with this spiral-bound, black-and-white diary on sight....I like that the pages are made from cardstock and the cover is clear plastic with an elastic fastener — the book is meant to last, since it’s preserving important vacation memories." --Practical Travel Gear

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect travel journal for young kids, March 26, 2001

My daughter is delighted with this journal. It prompts a child to write about things they may not have thought about. It contains a lot of the same information that adult travel journals contain (e.g. record of expenses), but in a kid-friendly format with illustrations. I think it will be a great thing for keeping my daughter busy on the plane ride.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely adorable!, January 15, 2010

Perfect combination of prompted writing and free space. If your child loves to draw or has pictures to paste in it, you can nearly make a scrapbook out of it and it will be a treasured keepsake later of a big trip. My child has little interest in drawing, but readily filled in the blanks and wrote about what he saw. Good find! Recommend for ages 6-12 or 13.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great travel journal for my 8-year-old, March 13, 2010

This review is from: The Children's Travel Journal (Spiral-bound)

My daughter has enjoyed working on this before the trip--coloring it, making maps and filling out the lists. I think the daily prompts are going to help to create a great keepsake to look back on from our trip to China. However, this journal seemed a bit too hard for her 5-year-old brother to use, so I bought a different one for him. This would be best for kids 8 and up.
