Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Families with children need not limit their vacations to Disney World and the Grand Canyon, say the Nichols, travel and writing partners for 31 years. The authors, who have traveled with their young children to Bangkok, Ecuador, Italy, Morocco and other far-flung locales, extol the benefits of foreign travel on children: kids "learn to appreciate and celebrate the many ways people all over the world conduct their lives." The book's beginning chapters focus on general considerations, such as what to pack and how to tackle foreign languages, and give Web resources for international family travel. That settled, the Nichols move on to a continent-by-continent examination of travel opportunities. They highlight Cro-Magnon art caves in France, Tanzania's wildlife, pilgrimages to Tibet and other adventures. The book differs from most travel guides in that it's highly personal and shares loads of first-person commentary. Readers embarking on similar trips have much to learn from the Nichols family.
