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!!

I got this book when I was about 9 years old, and I still use it now, at the age of 14. I record all flight times in it because I bring it everywhere I go. The License Plate Game is my favorite. It keeps you on the look out throughout your entire trip, so you are never bored. And unlike many other books, they actually give you EVERYTHING you are going to need for the activities in the book. From drawing to sign language, this book has it all!!!!

My 8-year-old daughter used this book on a recent 12-hour car trip. She became obsessed with finding license plates and marking them off in the book. When we returned home she brought the book to school for "share time" to show her class how many license plates she spotted (over 30). The activity pad also kept her very occupied.

I can't speak highly enough of this book. We got one for each of our daughters for a 15-hour car trip and they were completely entertained. There was something for everyone in this book, and we were surprised to see license plates for almost all 50 states (and some for Canada) on our journey from PA to FL. The variety of activities kept our 9-year-old and 11-year-old busy (and quiet) with plenty of activities left for future trips. Worth every cent!

This book has a lot of games and fun things to do. They have so many things in one book, one hour seems to fly by to one minute. It has great techniques on how to wrap hair, and to make easy bracelets. It also has fun hand games that my brother and I like to play.

I got this many years ago, and used it a lot. Somewhere in between now and then I lost it. I was going a trip that would require me sitting on an airplane and in the airport for a grand total of 11 hours. I bought this book. It not only kept me, but the 11 other college agepeople I was with entertained. We read each others palms and I was busy on the red-eye and not bothering people, quit the big feat for me. In addition a friend and I went on a week long car trip. We palyed many of the car games, found 42 state liscense plates (and 3 provinces), it kept us from attacking each other after four days in a car. I totally recomend this for anyone going on a trip of any length, regardless of the age.

I bought this for my 10 and 13 year old daughters. It kept their interest by providing lots of fun activities - even at their age!

This book is full of exciting games for any road trip. It is a combination of several klutz book along with well known games like parchezee and battleship. This book fits well in the car and uses ordinary supplies such as pennies, pen and paper. I would suggest this book for any age kids for traveling fun.

Wow~ This book kept our whole family entertained during our three day road trip. I highly recommended this book!

I actually used this book as a child on long car trips. I remember it fondly. I have 2 sisters and we all played quite nicely with this...for a while. The only problem was we wanted to do different things in different parts of the book. This led to 3 little girls squabbling over a book. Not fun! My advice is to get 1 per child.
