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 mostly pencil-game oriented with a few suggestions for conversational games, songs, and "When you get there" games at the end.

Highlights:

*the pages are colorful and include a wide assortment of pencil games. Our nine-year old could complete all of them--our seven-year old could complete most.

*Answers at back

*Should entertain our seven-year old for awhile...good value for the money. Nothing spectacular, not especially "educational," but a nice entertaining book for road travel.

This is a great book for long car trips or just to play at home.Some activities include:mini-mysteries, mazes, crossword puzzles, where to find this, coloring pages, car bingo and many, many other fun activities.Rand Mcnally is a great activity book company.I suggest getting this book, and SOON!

I bought two of these books for my 9-year old and 12-year old daughters. They kept both of them entertained for two 5 hours rides with more left. My older daughter especially enjoyed searching for different license plates and checking them off in the book. I'd definitely recommend this book for older kids for a road trip.

Our 9 year old grandson spent time doing the activities in this book on a car trip that was 4 hours each way. He did it independently and seemed to enjoy it. Not too much like school work. He could pick it up and put it down and the activities were a good length.

This book kept my 3 grandkids from quarreling in the back seat of the van! Great entertainment!

We bought this for our kids when we traveled. It kept them entertained for a reasonable amount of time and can be reused or passed on. It was a worthwhile purchase for a long road trip!

It's cute, fun and interesting...varied activities...well done. But my little guy got bored with it after 8 or 10 pages.

I got this for my 8 year old daughter for a very long car trip. She quite enjoyed it and entertained the family with the songs she learned from it during the trip and after.

Purchased for youngsters to travel on summer vacation. Great educational entertainment, take a break from the DVD players! Family fun. Inexpensive, good investment.

This book we used when we were travelling last week. It was nice, consumed some of the time in the activities but needed adult help to explain what to be done and read the instructions for her, she is only 5.5 years old. But generally speaking, it is nice.
