I have yet to see my kids be so happy and content traveling.
They had so much to do and were so engaged in what we were looking at. Buy one for each of your kids and let them see who can find what they need first.
Traveling with my kids would not be the same without this book.
Thanks to Elizabeth Skinner Grumbach for making my travels and my childrens travels easier and more fun.

I bought 2 of these--one for my 7 yo daughter, and one for my 6 1/2 yo nephew--for our trip to New York City. What a hit!! The kids absolutely loved their books, and spent a great deal of our downtime working on the puzzles and filling in the information. This guide gave us a sense of direction when we visited Central Park, and tips on what might be fun to visit next time we're in NYC. Working through the guide gave the kids a sense of ownership on the trip. Next time, I'll try to get the guide in hand BEFORE we plan our activities, so we can hit more of the recommended locations!

We now have a great souvenir from our fun weekend in NYC!

My kids and I loved this on a recent trip to NY. We found lots of the points of interest noted in the book and made it all feel like a bit of a scavenger hunt to them.
