Editorial Reviews

"This is a must-have for any road trip with kids! My 8-year-old son and I absolutely love this book and find it creative and fun. Highly recommended for anyone traveling with kids!" — TJ Fallon, founder of Dead History on YouTube

"This book is awesome and packed full of so many cool ideas to keep kids entertained while on the road. As a traveling family, we are always looking for creative ways to stay busy and off electronics. This book is the perfect answer. Our favorite parts are the riddles and word searches!" — Michele Biggers, travel agent and blogger at Endless Family Travels

"This big kid loves this book. It is full of the puzzle games that I played as a kid and still enjoy today. There are so many fun games and brain teasers that all of the kids (even the big ones) in the vehicle can enjoy. The Bingo boards games and the riddles will exercise everyone's little grey cells for hours. This is the coolest book of this type I've seen, and I can't wait to purchase some for my active (and sometimes fussy) nieces and nephews." — Tonya Fitzpatrick, award-winning podcaster, media personality, cofounder and CEO of World Footprints
