The kidsGo! series is an exciting new range of children's travel pocket guides. They aim to empower kids to have a say in their vacation planning, to get them thinking about their destination, and to enable them to make great suggestions and "tell their parents where to go!
The first six guides cover New York, London, Hong Kong, Bali, Sydney and Phuket. Concise and to the point, they offer just the right amount of information to help a vacationing family make the most of a typical week-long trip. Once they arrive, not a day will be wasted.
Also listed are fast facts, basic foreign phrases, do's and don'ts, things to spot, plus weird and wonderful factoids. Useful area maps put the main landmarks in context, so that the family can plan its day.
The listings in the series are all recommended by well-traveled families. Geared for 7-to-14 year olds, the recommendations will satisfy all age groups - whether they are active toddlers, trendy tweens, choosy teens, or parents who need a breather.
Gorgeously illustrated, these guides are collectible souvenirs that the kids will save long after they come home.
