I have a 3 & 5 year old and found really very little that would be of assistance to help them stay busy on a car trip. This is more of a hands on book for older kids with puzzles, mazes, word games, etc. Reading is definitely a must. I would say it'd be a help with any child over 7 who has a basic reading knowledge, and can follow written instructions.
Truth be told, my kids did not like this book as much as the Rand McNally travel activity book - but that said, it's mostly attributed to the fact that they are on the younger end of the spectrum regarding the age limit on this book. My kids are 6 and 7 respectively, and they noted that it was a lot of writing in there, and while they could read it just fine, they expected more activities in there. My nephew however, loved the book. He enjoyed the random facts, the road games, and the "before travel" tips such as suggesting items to pack featured in the book. He also noted that it would've been nice to have more "written" activities in the book, but was okay with the given selection. This book would definitely benefit kids who are independently reading, don't get carsick while reading, and who have other adults/kids in the car to engage with for many of the activities in the book. If you're looking have your kid sit quietly in the backseat with a book, this is likely not the best bet for you, as many of the activities involve talking with other people in the car - we like engaging with our family while driving, so this was a very fun book.
I bought this book for my 7 year old to use on our 10 hour road trip. She loved it and I loved it because apart from being entertaining it was educational too! It taught her different facts from each of the 50 states, she learned new songs and overall enjoyed reading through it. We're very happy with this purchase.
The kids at first thought this was "dumb" but after a while in the car they finally took a look. They were entertained for the trip and it engaged us all in activities as we drove.
Two of our grandchildren were to accompany their parents on a cross-country trip which was to include a number of days driving various rental cars. The books afforded them the opportunity to both occupy themselves and to interact with each other and their parents.
Love this! I bought it for my 7 year old grandson and he loves it! We went on a trip not long ago and he spent most of his time with that book. So glad I purchased it!
Very fun read for a long road trip. There were some awesome tips and small easy games to do while driving cross country, Would recommend for ages 10 and up. some of the games were a little more daunting for younger kids with less of an attention span.
this book was great to have on our long trip.There were games to play with kids and adults, and stories to read, joke to tell
