Kids Europe Italy Discovery Journal (Plastic Comb)
May 26, 2009 by Destination Guide
Filed under Travel Italy Guides
Product Description
The Kids Europe Italy Discovery Journal updated for 2006 is a guidebook to Italy for kids only. If you are traveling to Italy with children, they will love seeing the country from the perspective of what the unusual, weird or exciting. Educational insights into art and history are offered and there is a strong focus on appreciating the culture and Italy of today. There is so much to enjoy: food, drama, and a unique approach to life that makes Italy special. The author uncovers the goofy, mysterious and strange aspects of history and art — things that penetrate the attention of kids. Most guide books focus on churches and museums which can be monumentally boring to children. This little guide and journal can make the sites fun and can open up new pleasures to the whole family. The Italy Discovery Journal is not a standalone guidebook, but a personal guide and journal for kids 6-16 traveling in Italy.
