Happy Book Birthday, Your Ultimate Travel Adventure List by Anna Brett!

I love to travel...and to shout out book birthdays, so today's post is putting a huge smile on my face. The hard cover version of this book was released yesterday (I believe) and this is the type of book, which needs a hard cover version. It's nonfiction (something I always adore) and takes a look at the world around us through the eyes of someone who likes to travel. It introduces various sights and activities that kids could do if they were to visit each continent around the world. I'm hoping the photos are great (I do enjoy photos in these sorts of books) and am curious as to how the information will be presented.

Let's dive in and find out!

MY TIDBITS

It's time to travel the world as this book takes a peek at all sorts of interesting places around the globe.

The Table of Contents already offers a good impression at how much this book holds. The six chapters take a look at the six continents (Antarctica is not included), and each one holds around a dozen or so intriguing things that can be visited at each one. These include a huge variety as they touch upon natural wonders as well as animals, activities, or architecture. A very vague world map displays the continents and has a short paragraph, which adds a little excitement as to what each one might hold. Then, there's a list, which breaks down the locations into categories such as cities, experiences, water, and more to help those readers, who enjoy certain types of activities more than others, which ones might interest them most. Each chapter begins with a map of the continent where the general locations of each sight are pointed out as well as a photo to give a first impression of what each one is about. After that, each location is given a two-page spread, which is packed with photos and boxes of information explaining not only the general place but information and other things to do or see at that place.

There is a vast and varied mix in these pages. Some things are well known, while others surprise. There are activities for daredevils as well as animal fans or water enjoyers. The information highlights not only the important aspects of each place and activity but keeps the excitement high with fun notes or curious facts. The photos add to the fun and make sure to pack tons of atmosphere. 

None of the information comes across as dry or monotone. Each highlight listed under the main location carries only a short paragraph and gives a glimpse at what makes it special without spending too much time on descriptions. It hits a few intriguing facts and moves on. The text speaks directly to the reader to draw them in and mentions things which the age group might find interesting. 

While most readers probably won't jet around the world to visit these places, the photos and information opens awareness to the world and the wonders it holds. This makes it a nice addition not only to school collections but also for homeschoolers or even book enthusiasts, who enjoy learning more about the world around them.

Today's read... Build Your Own Space Museum by Claudia Martin

I was excited to discover to today's read! Not only is space a happily seen theme in our household but activities are a definite treat. Even my husband went giddy when he saw this book on the kitchen counter. So, I'll just dive in and let you know how...and if...it works.

BUILD YOUR OWN SPACE MUSEUM

by Claudia Martin

Illustrated by Mike Love

Lonely Planet Kids

Children's Nonfiction  /   Activity

23 pages

ages 6 to 8

You have received a crate of rare space objects from around the world, and it's up to you to place them in the correct rooms! Follow the instructions to create five amazing pop-ups and assemble the objects in exhibitions throughout the museum. From Mars rovers to Moon rockets, this hand-on book combines STEAM and creativity in a fun-packed package.

LONELY PLANET KIDS  /   AMAZON  /   BOOK DEPOSITORY

MY TIDBITS

Not only space fans will enjoy the goodness packed into these pages as it lures in with facts, interesting illustrations, and constructions on every other page.

It's off to space and beyond in this colorful, fact-packed read, which allows readers to pretend that they're in a museum...and build their own displays in the process. When opening the cover, the reader immediately discovers a giant flap with a note on it, which explains that the exhibits are inside. These are various space objects (from planets to ships and more), which are to be punched out and used to construct the displays on the correct pages. There is a detailed and illustrated two-page description on how this is done to make sure everything is clearly understood. It's straight-forward and really not overly difficult.

Each two-page spread symbolizes a museum room and rotates around a certain theme. This is broken down into boxes with titles and facts. Everything from themes such as 'Where is Space?' to planet facts to space capsules is explored, each with interesting tidbits, which aren't found in the usual science classes at school. The breakdown invites the reader to return time and again, and visit the sections however they'd like. At the end, there is a page with questions so readers can see if they remember some of the details. 

Everything about this book screams space fun. The self-construction of pop-ups works very well, and while taking a little finger finesse, isn't overly difficult. The pop-ups do need to be handled with a little care when reading the book after they've been constructed. But then, a drop of glue in the slots goes a long way to make sure they don't slide out with use. Each page radiates excitement for the topic with clear illustrations. The text is kept short for each topic (although it is quite a bit for each room), sliding in a couple of facts and fun. The vocabulary does hit the lower end of the  middle grade level. So readers need to be sure of their words.

This one makes a great present, for homeschooling, or for space and construction fans.

-Boredom Buster 

 MY TIDBITS

These pages are packed with puzzles, riddles and games, insuring there's something for everyone.

Designed especially for traveling, this book holds 151 pages of riddles, puzzles, games, questions and all sorts of other activities. Although sold for ages six to eight, many of the activities work wonderfully for older kids and some even lure parents to get involved. Each one is different—not a collection with 10 mazes or a dozen word searches—and they vary from mind-benders to word play to comparisons and more. Some are more challenging than others, and there's definitely a huge variety.

There's no rhyme or reason for how the puzzles are arranged—each page is a surprise. The descriptions are short but enough so that the reader knows what to do. The book invites to be used and the pages are sturdy enough to handle a longer travel. The answers are in the back of the book, organized by page number.

I've had this one laying on my cabinet, and my kids keep picking it up to try some of the puzzles again and again. There's enough inside to keep it interesting even after looking at it a dozen times, and they love to try to see if I can solve the puzzles too. In other words, it's something kids can do on their own, but also something which can be used to add a little fun for the whole family.

MY TIDBITS

With 100 different words, this is a great way for kids to get a first glimpse into this Asian language.

With a sturdy and easy to clean cover, this is a book ready to travel the world and beyond. There are 100 words to learn, starting on the first page with a hello and ending with goodbye. In between, there is everything from chopsticks to map to cat and so much more.

Each word is presented on a two-page spread. First, comes the word in bold type in English, under it the word written in Mandarin, next the Mandarin word written with English characters, and last but not least, a pronunciation. The other side of the spread offers a simple, unmistakable, and very brightly colored illustration of the word. In some illustrations, there's even another term in Mandarin which might be closely related to the main word. For example, the main word is computer and on the illustration the term for mouse is added.

My daughter dove onto this book the second in was brought into the house and ran away with it into her bedroom to immediately learn a few words. The easy read print and simple layout keep it inviting and make it look simple. And it is. She's been throwing the words into our daily conversations ever since. As an extra bonus, there's a website where kids can hear the audio version of each word and work on their pronunciations. The only thing missing from this book is an index, something which the intended age group (8 to 12) could easily use.

This is a wonderful, easy way for kids to pick up a few words in Mandarin and get a first feel for the language, while keeping it light and easy.

 MY TIDBITS

Daily life tidbits, exotic foods, pet peculiarities, tons of known (and lesser known) sights and so much more make this book into a smorgasbord for anyone ready to dive into the colorful streets and cool corners of Tokyo.

Like a real tourist or adventurer embarking on a trip, the first page lays out a map of Tokyo. Little pinpoints show where each 'trail'or topic area, included in the neighboring table of contents, is geographically located. There are 19 themes, each consisting of about six pages. And these are packed. . .and I do mean stuffed to the gills. . .with all sorts of fun, eye-raising, or simply interesting bits of information. Everything from whimsical architecture to mouth-watering snacks to goblins or even fashion is presented in a way curious minds are sure to enjoy and soak up.

The pages are colorful and almost chaotic, bringing across an air of excitement and liveliness, which is certain to be found when strolling down the streets of Tokyo. A path follows through the pages, marking each 'sight' with an English and Japanesse name, and then a paragraph description as well as a delightful photo or illustration. The information doesn't dribble across like the drool of a rattling teacher, but radiates the excitement of an enthusiastic guide. The wording grabs while still bringing across exactly that information kids of this age group crave. 

This isn't the type of book to be read from start to finish in one setting (it would be over-whelming to even try to do this) but invites to be visited time and again. The mountain of information ensures that something new will be discovered with every visit, and many things are worthy of being shared with friends and offer new insights into the life, culture and simply variety Tokyo has to offer. 

Curious readers ages eight and up, who love learning more about life and the world, are sure to devour this book and will come out knowing so much more.

Review: The Incredible Cabinet of Wonders from Lonely Planet Kids

THE INCREDIBLE CABINET OF WONDERS
from Lonely Planet Kids

Picture Book/Non-Fiction

28 pages

 ages 8 to 12

It’s time to peek inside the world’s most famous museums. Welcome to Lonely Planet Kids’ Incredible Cabinet of Wonders – the greatest little museum in the world! 12 collectors, from toy makers and monster hunters, to sailors and archaeologists, have created their own themed cabinets and filled them with their favourite things. 

Kids can lift the flaps and open the cabinet doors to discover 100 extraordinary objects from our planet’s weird and wonderful past and present, then read fascinating stories behind each one and find out where to see them in real life. 

What objects will they find? And what stories will they tell?

The 12 themed collections are:

• Toy Maker’s Cabinet
• Sailor’s Cabinet
• Monster Hunter’s Cabinet
• Naturalist’s Cabinet
• Miniaturist’s Cabinet
• Doctor’s Cabinet
• Treasure Hunter’s Cabinet
• Archaeologist’s Cabinet
• Costume Maker’s Cabinet
• Musician’s Cabinet
• Scientist’s Cabinet
• Make Believer’s Cabinet

Each cabinet is illustrated by a different artist and features photos of every astonishing and unusual artefact.

MY TIDBITS

With all of it's hidden doors and secret corners, this book isn't only a ton of fun for flipping through but plays treasure chest to all those fans of interesting yet quirky information.

In some ways, this reminds of a Ripley's Believe It Or Not but takes with a historic twist. The high quality book is divided into twelve two-page spreads, each with a certain theme and fitting 'cabinet'. There's a short explanation of the theme planted between detailed illustrations, which makes curious hearts beat faster. The word cabinet fits perfectly as each exploration includes numerous doors, which hold a treasure inside. Odd and amazing artefacts are depicted with short explanations as to their purpose and origin as well as where the object was found, when it is believed to have been created and where it can be seen today. 

This isn't a book to necessarily read from front to back in one sitting but will be picked up again and again to discover something new. The descriptions are written in manner kids ages eight and up will easily understand, and these explanations stick to the facts. Each is short and concise with the feel of walking through a museum and reading the small, description signs. But that's all that's needed because these objects speak for themselves and invite to thought and speculation. While a couple items might be familiar, most objects offer something new. All of them demand a reaction, whether interesting, quirky, creepy or just plain odd, and give readers a new glimpse at some moments in history.

My kids loved this one. They sat together, pointing things out, giggling or wrinkling their noses with every new find. They even took it to show their friends, who also cringed and laughed as they flipped through the doors. So this one is getting a high, two-thumbs up recommendation from this bookworm!

Review: How Animals Build from Lonely Planet

HOW ANIMALS BUILD

by Moira Butterfield

Illustrated by Tim Hutchinson

Lonely Planet

Picture Book Non-Fiction

24 pages

ages 4 and up

The North & Latin American edition of this title is available here.

Lonely Planet Kids’ How Animals Build is a beautifully illustrated lift-the-flap hardback that explores the incredible world of animal architects. Children can open flaps and unfold spreads to discover amazing animal homes up high, underground, on land, and under the sea. From spider webs and rabbit warrens, to bird nests and ant colonies, and even coral reefs and beaver lodges, we reveal the secrets to these extraordinary structures and how they’re built.

Do bees need cement mixers to build hives? Do beavers use cranes to construct dams? No, of course not! Like many animals, they’re building geniuses who don’t need building site tools to create incredible work. Welcome to nature’s very own, super-clever world of construction.

Created in consultation with Michael Leach, wildlife author, speaker, photographer, and filmographer. Michael is the author of over 20 books on subjects ranging fromm big cats and owls to great apes and bears.

Themed topics include:

 Apartment Block with Branches

• Dig, Diggers, Dig!
• Number 1 Bunny Street
• A Winning Design
• It’s Buzzing in Here!
• Nest Neighborhoods
• This Way to Waterworld
• Extreme Builders
• Mouse House Here

MY TIDBITS

Every page of this one is packed full of interesting information and guarantees to suck in information hungry, animal loving kids for hours.

Every animal needs a home, and the variety is almost as vast as the imagination. While some animals keep it simple, others are genuine architects with a touch of genius. From birds, to mice, and even underwater creatures, this book covers a vast array of examples from the animal kingdom and is sure to hold a surprise or two.

The second this book is open, it's clear that the reader is in for a treat. Not only are animals from every corner of the globe, even lesser known ones, mentioned in these pages, but each home is presented through colorful illustrations with many secret doors, which lead to even more interesting tidbits. Not only is it exciting to see what animals and homes are up next, but the various possibilities to open up some homes to large scale, while peeking in the holes of other corners and crannies, makes it a delight to visit again and again.

With all of its fun, this isn't a book for the youngest readers but more suiting ages six and up. The text, while whimsically placed and holding a vocabulary great for the age group, is something for a larger attention span. This isn't a book a reader can devour in one sitting. At least, not while absorbing all of the information. There's simply too much for that. This is the kind of book readers will visit time and again to discover new information or notice things they skimmed past before. And the information is interesting—even for adults. There are enough less known facts to guarantee that something new is to be found for almost every reader.

This is a book of pure discovery and the sheer enjoyment of finding more, and is sure to draw kids back into the pages again and again.

YOU RULE!

Create Your Own Country 

by Scott Forbes &

 Emma Laura Jones 

Lonely Planet Kids

 Pages: 96 

 Recommended Ages: 8+ 

Think you can run a nation? You Rule!: Create Your Own Country by Scott Forbes and Emma Laura Jones shows ambitious young leaders (ages 8+) how to create a new nation completely from scratch. Decide on laws, establish borders, design a flag, gain citizen support and more. Be king, queen, chief, emperor, president or dictator – you decide, because right here, right now, you rule!

MY TIDBITS

This is a fun book packed with all sorts of information, tidbits and facts which will help kids dream up their own country and probably, go outside a claim a piece of the yard as their own kingdom. I write this last part with a slight smile because that's exactly what my son did.

When I picked this book up and read through it, I found all sorts of interesting things--bits and pieces of knowledge which bring a 'huh'. But although I found it fun to look through, I wondered if my son (10) would really enjoy it. The book might be thin, but there's a ton of information packed into the pages and the sight of all those typed words made me wonder if a kid might find it intimidating. . .or simply too much.

But my worries were unnecessary.

My son sat down on the couch and sunk into the pages. Although he didn't sit and read every page immediately from beginning to end, he skimmed back and forth sucking up different things as he went along. Every now and then, he'd stop and point something out to me. By the time he was done, he knew what flag he was going to make, what part of our yard was going to be his new kingdom, and how he was going to structure it. He was also surprised to find some information about one of the early explorers they'd just discussed in school. Considering creating a country was the farthest thing from his mind when I handed the book to him, I was impressed that it immediately left an impression.

As said, this book is chucked full of details, and it's not something I believe most kids will sit down and devour straight through from beginning to end. But it is the type of book kids will come back to again and again because there's always something new for them to discover--things they didn't notice before.
