Although this book is clearly aimed at the USA market, it is a very nice selection of activities to stop kids just staring at a screen on a long journey. Obviously, as we are in the UK, there were many pages that we had to skip but there are 8 options for each activity so there was plenty to keep us entertained.
It was well set out with clear chapters and colourful pages - perfect for in the car or on public transport. The riddles were mostly ones we hadn't heard before, although I would have prefered the answers to be a bit more accessible. We also liked the the letter codes and word searches, they were enough to keep our brains busy without being too demanding. Other chapters include silly stories, scavenger hunts and probably our favourite - would you rathers.
The travel journal was also a really nice touch because normally I would buy a separate one of these. There was plenty of space for drawings and some really interesting prompts.
Overall, this was a thoughtful addition to the travel activities books for kids and I would definitely be interested in a UK version of these book.

This used to have 75 things in, but has been rejigged somewhat to make it more of a round number. We start with several grids of things to be treated like bingo cards – people, traffic signs, coloured vehicles, etc, and then find pages of punning riddles. Word searches follow, then coded phrases to decipher. After those we have a spread of prompts for journaling and recording our trip in words and image, then mazes. Lots of 'would you rather...'s turn up next, then frames for those stories we add words to one at a time to get a bonkers bit of narrative, and to close it's a sort of I-Spy game, with different points for the first spotting of one of a spread of different things. On the whole it's well themed around travel and vacations, if it might at times have been more so, and it's a colourful way to get someone off-grid and entertained on the journey. It is very much USA-only, as the map with the states and the collection of number plates for us to complete that start things off prove, but that market is pretty well served, and this could definitely be recommended.
