Review in the American magazine
|
WiKIDly Awesome Travels is reviewed in the 2015 November/December issue of the American magazine. Here's the review (go to p56):
You have kids. You bring them over the sea to Europe and drag them round all that history, all that geography, all that architecture ...they love it as much as you do, right? Well maybe not all of them, all of the time. McPhee and Lifson have lived the problem - between them they have globetrotted to 35 countries - and come up with a solution. Fun activity books for kids visiting London and Paris (more to follow?) that include all the major tourist destinations, ‘I-Spy’ questions, cleverly hidden advice (“Memorize the name of the hotel and street where you are staying”) and Funky Facts. The Paris book has placenames and phrases in French and simple phonetics to help find their way around and maybe pick up some of the language. It’s just won a Family Choice Award in the States, and there’s a new London edition out too. |

Five Stars
Fantastic book! Beautiful illustrations and adventurous prose. Bought this because my kids loved the Paris edition. Recommended.
Great Travel Book For The Entire Family
"This book is a great way for children to learn about Paris, and engages them to want to see and learn. It covers important places to visit and the history, and can help provide ideas as to what to see. Children can answer questions, write their thoughts, and draw, helping them learn about Paris and understand more of what they are seeing. This activity book will also be a great way to remember the trip, as it can be referred to for years to come."
SUPERB
"Superbly constructed and written book. My grandchildren are going to love it for their trip to Paris".
Very useful and fantastic format.
Educational and kept my son busy and entertained. He loved the challenge of finding out the answers.

Brilliant kids activity book! Fun and educational
"Can't wait to see this being used - should be a great souvenir of our trip AND keep someone occupied!!! "
This is a great book for traveling in a plane or on your couch.
Very interactive. Kids can even plan their actual Paris trip based on this book ! I want one for every city. A must have for the traveling child!
Makes me wanna up n go!
What a groovy little book! Traveling is where it's at esp with a cool travel companion! We should always look at new places through our "9 year old " eyes !
A great activity guide for young guys with plenty of things to do
"A great activity guide for young guys with plenty of things to do and to learn in an informal way in Paris."
Beautifully illustrated and fun to complete
Beautifully illustrated and fun to complete for kids and adults :-) I bought a few as impromptu presents for friends' kids coming over to visit.
Easy to pack and delightful to use
This is not only the book to buy if you are travelling to London as a family, but even an adult would find this book instructional as well as entertaining while visiting London. Easy to pack and delightful to use - I highly recommend "Wikidly Awesome Travels."
Terrific travel aid for the tots and teens!
Perfect gift for little travelers (or big travelers, for that matter)!!! I am looking forward to Miranda McPhee's WiKIDly travel activity book on London!!!
The smart traveler's guide through Paris
If you plan to take your child or grandchild to Paris, Miranda's book is de rigueur. Not only is it beautifully constructed; it's also entertaining and educational. In fact even an adult can benefit from its well-though-out instruction.
Ignite and keep fired up children's interest when visiting Paris
