Family Field Trip: Explore Art, Food, Music, and Nature with Kids (Child Raising and Parenting Book, Montessori and World Schooling Book, Summer Vacation Guide) Reviews


  • Donna Craig

    I bought this book on my Oregon vacation. An enormous (3-story) bookstore in Portland, which sells new and used books, had this one on sale. I bought a copy for my daughter and one for my son and daughter-in-law. I got caught up in it, though, so they had to wait until I finished reading it. (I couldn’t give it to one and not the other 🤓).
    Anyhow, I loved the book and wish I’d had it when my kids were little. It’s a treasure trove of wonderful ideas, very doable and well-organized. It’s colorful—a feast for the eyes—and the print style makes your eyes devour the pages.
    Very worthy.

    Beautiful and easy to read. I think it's more meant to be a coffee table book rather than quick read through like I did. But there were some fun ideas and tips.
    Felt a little bit like scrolling through Instagram... so take that for what it's worth. :)

  • YS I

    A quick and easy read with many tips on how to keep the children engaged with their world and learn new things along the way.

    I've learnt a good tip to buy child seats at the location that I'll be visiting, which may turn out to be cheaper than renting them.

    Good read!

  • Shhhh... Books

    Helpful. A book about the philosophy behind traveling with children as much as a practical guide.

  • Krisanne Knudsen

    Some fun, practical advice about exploring the world with your children through travel, music, art, food, and nature.
