What a fantastic way to learn American history! I compliment the author and her ingenious way of letting Young visitors to Washington D.C., explore the city. As agents they must collect 100 points but the step by step explanations of monuments, historical documents, statues and artifacts are basic enough for even the Young visitor to grasp. More than anything, it is an truly interesting way to bring your children to this city and let them discover for themselves so many interesting facts. I believe their parents will learn alot too! I like the graphic setup and I'm sure your visitors of all ages will appreciate all the work that went into making this book- Letting the children "special agents" make up their own code names for the Mission is a great way of involving them in the play and learn activities. As a former elementary school teacher, I highly recommend this book as it stimulates and rewards the visitors. So glad there are others in the series.
This was such a fun way for us to explore DC! Our kids were engaged and focused and we were able to see and learn so much because they were excited to complete another mission. Our children are 5 and 7 and we were able to complete 11 missions and a few "Anytime Missions", covering a good portion of DC and things that were interesting to them. So fun! We will definitely keep this series of books in mind for our travels in the future!
I bought this book for my children because we would be living in the area and wanted to get the most out of visiting all the monuments and such. It is truly an amazing resource. You won't wander around overwhelmed ever again if you bring this book with you. I took it with me to the Vietnam and Lincoln Memorials and learned so much more than I ever would just looking around on my own. I forgot to bring it to the Air and Space Museum and was overwhelmed and bored to tears with all the information and exhibits. I've taken it with me other places and actually had something to look forward to rather than the usual picture-taking and aimless wandering. My kids love it to because it's a challenge to solve some of the clues, but the interactive nature helps them to actually learn some information. It's almost like having a tour guide with you as you visit the various destinations. You will get much more out of your trip if you have a book like this.
My son is now excited for our trip to DC so that he can find "hidden items" and complete missions. Only thing I don't like is we bought the Kindle version and I don't really want him carrying around his kindle while we are out touring (plus there is no way to check off the items on the kindle version). May have to buy the paperback version. Even better if we could get this as an app on a phone.
My 5 and 6-year olds loved this book. It made touring DC really fun and interesting for them. While they are still learning to read, the books were filled with enough photos to keep them engaged. My only critical comment/request would be to add answers to the questions somewhere in the book. I also think some of the clues etc could've been slightly more relevant to the site but that could just be a function of my age group. Lots for a parent to build on from the book - secret agent badges, etc. Thanks!
This is the second book I’ve read in this series. And just comparing the two side by side, the first thing that pops out at me is the consistency in quality from one to the other. The author applies the same meticulous attention to detail, layout, and design of her visually laden pages, and to the crafting of the prose. Assuming she does this throughout the series of books (still too early to tell, having just read two), this is a “if you loved one, you’ll love them all” kind of thing.Parents looking to occupy their kids on vacation will find these books a boon. More to the point, they excel at cramming a ton of education into a vacation trip without making any of it seem like anything but a ton of fun. So you will not have to fret for what to occupy them, or what activities to find that you might both enjoy as parents and child alike.Being something of a history buff myself, and feeling a bit travel-starved (I don’t get to jet set nearly as much as I’d like too—like try, never), I find these books are surprisingly educational and a nice mini-vacation for me as an armchair traveler, as well. And they offer plenty of incentive to take a bus ride or a train where possible to get to D.C. if Jet Blue or some form of discount travel isn’t available.If you’re leaving the country with one or more young kids in tow, I’d definitely recommend packing this title (especially as, in e-book form or nestled into your cell phone, it takes virtually no room). Though possibly load it on your kids’ phones as well if you expect to hold on to yours! Or any of their free-kindle-app empowered appliances.
My 9 year old son loves scavenger hunts. This is going to be a great companion to our vacation in Washington in a couple of months. He's already looked through the book and he's planning our excursions.
I bought this book for my 7 year old son just before we left for our trip and it really encouraged him to explore at all the DC museums and monuments and to look for things he wouldn't have looked for otherwise. I even enjoyed reading over all the facts within the book myself.
