About this title

About the Author:

Meredith Brokaw, former teacher, mother of three, and wife of TV anchorman Tom Brokaw, is the founder and owner of the Penny Whistle toys stores, dedicated since 1978 to providing original, creative playthings. She lives in New York.

From Library Journal:

Brokaw, a toy store owner, and magazine editor Gilbar continue their collaboration (The Penny Whistle Birthday Book, Fireside, 1992, and others) with a useful travel book for parents. Chapters include advice on family travel planning, packing, children's games, exercise programs, and road food (including recipes). Much of this information will be familiar to parents, though it is helpful to have it collected in a single volume, with reference made to specific types of travel (car, train, boat, airplane) as well as suitable activities for children of different ages and a list of cities with museums appropriate for kids. The text is greatly enhanced by charming illustrations, particularly those of a traveling cat who makes appearances throughout the book. A bibliography and resource section with books for parents and children are also useful. Recommended for public libraries.
