I’m excited this week to bring you something new – I’ve been invited to participate in What To Read Wednesdays with some lovely blogging friends. Each week I’ll bring you a selection of books to read on a specific topic and then you can link up your books or other blog posts as well! This week the subject is travel. You know we LOVE to travel – even if it is usually from the confines of our own home. Armchair travelling can be lots of fun – but of course if you DO travel – it’s amazing!

Travelling isn’t always fun for kids if they don’t have something to do that’s interesting to them. This week’s selection is filled with books that children will enjoy, both at home and on the road.


- Pop-up Paris (Lonely Planet Kids)
- Mission London: A Scavenger Hunt Adventure (Travel Book For Kids)
- Tokyo with Children: A parent’s insight on where to eat, learn and play in Japan’s amazing capital (An Epic Education: Traveling with Kids / Asia travel with Kids)

- 125 Wacky Roadside Attractions: See All the Weird, Wonderful, and Downright Bizarre Landmarks From Around the World! (National Geographic Kids)
- Ultimate Sticker Puzzles: License Plates Across the States:Travel Puzzles and Games
- National Geographic Kids Ultimate U.S. Road Trip Atlas

Just a great list of book for kids. My family was military growing up and I have lived in so many places. I truly miss having all of that excitement and different culture every few years. Books are a great way to escape to anywhere that you want to be!

I didn’t have that exciting a life, but I loved seeing Western Canada with the family when we travelled in the van. It sparked my love of travel – which later took me many places to visit and work.
Nothing can replace the real experience of travel, but books are the next-best thing!
