This book certainly lives up to its name, appearing on the Publisher’s Weekly list of bestselling children’s travel books. There are hours of fun in this big book of puzzles, mazes, connect-the-dots, and color-by-number activities. more info

This book was wonderful for my 4 year old on a 3 hour plane ride! Lots of interesting things to keep her busy.

I bought this for my 4 and 5 yr old sons, we are taking a long car ride so I thought it would entertain them for a while and it has.

Great Actvity Book
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I got these for my 3 and 6 year old. They are full of activities that both of them can do. There are lots of mazes, coloring activities, and puzzles for them to do.

This IS the best travel book ever
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
We drove 20 hours to Texas with a 5 and 10 year old – they watched DVDs played nintendo and also completed EVERY single page in this book and were sad to reach the end. Best money ever spent on an activity book. Book is fairly thick – maybe 50 pages – puzzles were to hard for 5 year old without help.

Nice activity book for travel
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
We bought this activity book for when we travel. It is pretty big with lots of pages to keep the kids busy during a long car or plane ride.

Great book, arrived too late.
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
The book is great, but be sure to order it at least two months before you travel. I ordered mine one month in advance, and received it only upon returning from our trip. Too bad; we’ll store it until our next trip, or use it as a regular activity notebook.

Didn’t even need a DVD Player!

Our 5 yr old loved this activity book. It kept her busy on an eight hour road trip. She never wanted the dvd player on.

Good Book of Pencil/Coloring Games
Rating:4 out of 5 stars

I’ve purchased three of the books in this series, one for each of our children for our upcoming trip. Of the three (Kid’s Road Atlas, Are We There Yet, and the Best Travel Activity Book Ever), this one is the most like a coloring book (basic black and white pages) and the thickest (most pages)

Highlights:

*Lots of dot-to-dot–some color by number, mazes, spot the differences, drawing, and puzzles that answer a riddle. The book would be good for 5 and up….some reading skills (or someone helping who can read) would be required for parts.

*This book would work for a broad variety of ages…my five-year old would need some help, but would enjoy it, some parts would be too simplistic for my 7 and 9 year olds, though they would enjoy other parts. Probably best for 5-7 I’d say.

*Crayons required…not just pencil.

*Good value for the $…more engaging than just a plain old coloring book. Some educational value in there…but mostly just fun.

travel activity book
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
overall, this is a good travel book for little ones because it has many different things that keep them involved.

good for young children
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a good buy for young children. I was impressed with the variety. But many 8 year olds will find it too simple. For kids getting tired of coloring books, you might want to look into a Klutz book or something more exciting.

Poor quality paper
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
The activities in this book look great but I was very disappointed to find that the paper is poor quality newsprint and markers will soak right through them. Not great because you can’t use the activities on both sides of the pates.
