As a mum of five, and someone who’s always hunting for ways to make travel more engaging for kids, I’m so excited to share this brilliant new series from Lonely Planet: A Kid’s Guide To… – a fun, interactive set of travel books made especially for young explorers.
These colourful guides bring the world’s most exciting cities to life – think Rome, New York, London, and Paris – with pages packed full of secret spots, wild facts, tasty treats, public transport tips, interactive challenges, and must-see landmarks. They’re designed for kids aged 9-12, but even my younger ones love flipping through the pages and dreaming up our next trip!
Whether you’re planning a family getaway or exploring from the comfort of home, these books are perfect for sparking curiosity and teaching kids about global cities in a way that’s fun and easy to understand. We especially loved the crazy facts (an alligator in a New York sewer?!), the “wow-factor” illustrations, and the fold-out maps to help kids visualise each city.
These guides are now available from Lonely Planet’s website and select bookstores across Australia and NZ. If you’re raising a future globetrotter, this is a must-have on your bookshelf.
