5.0 out of 5 stars Great from four and up..., July 5, 2004

My four year old chose this as his book last week and although I had some reservations, I now know that I would buy another one. He kept himself occupied for hours (truly) with the scratching and trying to copy pictures. My 5, 10 and 11 year old also love it. A great time consumer as well as educational about the landmarks in it!

3.0 out of 5 stars messy, June 9, 2008

This review is from: Travel Scratch and Sketch: A Cool Art Activity Book for Budding Artists and Travelers of All Ages (Activity Journals) (Spiral-bound)

I bought this for my six-year-old daughter to have something to do on the plane, but after we tried the first one at home, I saw that it really couldn't/shouldn't be done in a plane. It is very messy, which I didn't expect. While drawing the pictures, you rub off quite a lot of black "shaving" and it gets everywhere. I would recommend this book for home, but not for a plane or even in the car. Other than the mess, the pictures were easy to draw, and she had a lot of fun with it.

On the go or at home, this Travel Scratch and Sketch activity journal is a great way for kids to have fun.

There are pictures of places from around the world, like the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty and Big Ben with some great information about the pictures to scratch.

The foil is rainbow and holographic -- really nice to work with. If you've ever done any scratch-off, you know how addicting it can be. If you haven't tried it yet, this would be a great one to start with.

You might want to keep one in the car for boredom emergencies!
