We, parents think first the safety of our babies. In fact, most of our thought is how to make them comfortable while traveling. Too good I found this book online and purchased it right away.

We have an RV and we travel a lot using it but soon, we're going to have a baby and we were kind of worried it might not be the best idea to use it during travels because of the baby. Good thing I got this book to aid our dilemma. Luckily, this book suggested solid ways on how we could childproof our RV. We're starting customizing our RV now and we're very excited to travel with the new addition to our family.

While one needn’t forgo the beaches and the sun, a family holiday in Europe can of course be about much, much more.

How, how is it possible that a book called "Europe for kids..." would offer only 20 pages to the countries of Belgium, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and Swizerland? No, not 20 pages per country...20 pages IN TOTAL! Germany, Austria, and Switzerland easily deserve 20 pages (or more) a piece!
If you are looking for a guidebook to the touristy spots your children might enjoy, this may not be the book for you. If you want a book which will offer you prices and opening hours to attractions this is also not the book for you; very rarely are either offered. This book appears to have *some* helpful information and a few age specific pointers; it would be a great resource from your local library when you begin to plan your trip. When you want to get down to the meat of planning, you won't find a lot here. There is simply not enough substance here to justify the $18 price (especially when you consider Central Europe is but a whisper in this book!); surely at that price you are really paying for the beautiful photos.
On the pro side, each chapter has children's book suggestions for each country/region. Would like to have seen a longer list as notable books were left off the lists! Also enjoyable were the children's Top 10 lists for several countries. We will certainly be referring back to these. Finally, it was nice to see the inclusion of some recipes for each country. Although any google search could locate similar recipes, having them in one location as you prepare for the trip is handy. This book also has a decent amount of information (comparatively) on Turkey and Eastern Europe with kids.
This book was published in the UK. If you are in the US and considering this book, note that all prices given are either in pounds or euro. Also, most of the travel agencies listed are based in the UK.

This book seriously lacks specifics. At best it offers rough ideas for things to do, but it is far too general. Lots of nice colour pictures taking up precious space, but I don't need someone else's beautiful vacation photos when I plan to go for myself. Hardly any useful maps, brief descriptions, and whole geographic areas left out. The author admits as much in the book, but even then it is a little thin on content.
As a North American, I was also a little put off by the book's very UK-centric nature: aside from the lingo, there is a strong focus on Britain/Ireland and sun-seeker destinations like Greece, Spain, and Italy. There is almost nothing about Germany and Switzerland. The different destinations and particulars for newborns and toddlers versus teenagers are barely touched upon at the start of each chapter. Again, lots of generalities and few details.
Overall, a waste of money for the price.

We All Go Traveling by
This rhythmic I-spy journey to school through various landscapes is the perfect introduction to colors, modes of transport, and of course, music! The jaunty text, Siobhan Bell s colorful hand-stitched illustrations and the accompanying Music CD by popular singer Fred Penner are sure to get children singing along happily. The I-Spy theme encourages reader/listener interaction, while the cumulative, repetitive text helps build sequencing skills. We All Go Traveling By is ideal for read-aloud and music and movement activities.
"Even the youngest children are sure to join in with the many repetitions in this upbeat I-Spy themed verse." --Chicago Parent
Sheena Roberts is an established figure in the world of children's music, having published a multitude of different songs and rhymes for babies and toddlers.

This is a wonderful book for children, and a great find for teachers. It has predictable, rhythmic text, a cumulative series of vehicles (always a favorite), fun sounds to make, and neat pictures. The toddlers I work with and the first graders my daughter teaches all love it. The CD with Fred Penner is a real treat, too!

My two-year-old loves this book as well as the music CD that accompanies it. The illustrations are colorful and engaging, and the song (sung by Winnipegger Fred Penner) is catchy and easy to learn. I recently recommended that our preschool purchase a copy.

The illustrations are very interesting and the song is really catchy. The whole family is now fans of Fred Penner. It's not only for the kids, you'll even sing it to yourself in the bathroom. We are going to get more sing a long titles sung by him.
