Go! (Blue): A Kids' Interactive Travel Diary and Journal (Wee Society)

Bought this travel journal for my son when we went to Australia (he was 5). Some of it was over his head, but he loved filling it out, answering the questions, and coloring in it. We liked it so much that I decided to buy another one for him for our next overseas trip. He is 8 now. He remembered the book and was really excited to be getting another one for this trip!

Loved this for our 3.5 year old. Parent lead, it helped him process our vacation and remember some really cool aspects! Love how every page is different and not just a blank writing journal. The prompts are perfect.

I bought these "journals" for my five year old twins and their 9 year old cousin for an upcoming trip to Florida/ Disney World. (They will be 6 and 10 when we travel.)First, it should be noted that there is no difference between the red, blue, or yellow books, only the dust jacket. This can be good if you want to separate the books by trip or child, but other than the dust jacket there is no difference.Like other reviewers, I would hesitate to call this a "journal" because most of the prompts are more activity oriented. For example, one page says "look up and draw what you see". While all the pages are fun and creative, if you want a true day-by-day journal, then this isn't it. This is great, however, to prompt kids to think outside the box as there are many fun ideas throughout. The art work is mid-century modern inspired, which helps keep the book clean and uncluttered.I do wish there were page numbers. Since the book isn't a straightforward journal, we will skip around matching the page to the day. It would be helpful so I can let the kids know that, for example, today page 58 would be fun to do. This, I feel, was a big miss by the editors.I can see this type of book being great for ages 4-8 or kids who want to document a trip, but don't want to fill out a couple pages everyday. There are many activities for drawing to show what you did.While we plan to use this for Florida/Disney, I think the best use would be a trip to a city or different country. One page has you find someone who lives in your vacation destination and ask them some basic questions. This would be great for New York City, Montreal, London or even camping. Not an journal/activity that's great for a theme park or cruise ship vacation. It could be fun for a stay-cation if you were exploring your home town area or for a social studies unit for homeschool.Overall this is a fun, different way to document a trip. Is it the perfect kid's trip journal? No, but I haven't found that yet either.So buy it if you want an easy way to save some memories. If you want to remember things in exquisite detail, look elsewhere.

This travel journal is perfect for kids! My 7 yr old LOVES it. It is perfect for a short trip. We are going to Spain and this journal is making him so excited! It’s a rather juvenile journal, but honestly, I think my 11 year old would use it just as much as my 7yr old. (We bought the kids travel journal from Peter pauper press for my older kids). It’s fun and colorful and there is a wide variety of diary page formats to keep kids interested and engaged. I think this is great for all ages of kids.Something else that is cute is that the book jacket has “badges” to collect so if your child does one of the things, they get to put a sticker by the quest they fulfilled. All of us parents know that stickers are a great encouragement. For example- my 7yr old saw that one of the badges he has to earn is “learning the history of a place”. He’s already making sure that we do a tour and learn something interesting so that he can put the sticker in the book. Genius!I also love the pages where the kids can draw pictures of new foods they tried and rate what they thought. Wee Society thought of everything.All in all- it’s a fun book. However, if your child is a writer- I do not suggest this. Go for an old school journal. If your child needs active engagement and is better with a couple of sentences and drawing pictures- this is perfect.I’m taking my boys to Asia next summer and will be buying this book again for my youngest.

I wanted something to use to document my son’s first international trip, something obviously kid-oriented, and simple but detailed enough for me to fill in the info for him (he’s 11 months). I’m also not so good about documenting trips in writing, so I wanted something with prompts. After looking at all kinds of journals, I decided to try this one. I’m very pleased with this book and each of the pages! I love the illustrations, and there’s enough stuff for me to fill in that would capture highlights of the trip (and more), without requiring TOO much of my time. Some pages ask for drawings, but I’ll just stick some photos in those spots. I can’t wait to use this book, and plan to purchase one for each of our vacations!

Such a fun, engaging, and simple way for kids (or adults!) to journal travel. The graphics are awesome, and the journal prompts are quirky and perfect to keep kids interested while capturing meaningful memories (Look Up. Draw what you see.)There are 5 built-in “daily adventure logs” in addition to the many other creative prompt pages — which was the perfect amount for our trip.I also loved that some of the journal prompts were meant to be filled out in the days prior to leaving, which was a fun way to prepare and direct excited energy.The only improvement I would suggest is adding a few blank pages or spots to tape tickets/playbills/restaurant cards/ etc. but honestly, this little journal is as close to perfect as they come.

This is the 2nd time I buy this journal, and it was a gift for a 6-yo girl. She LOVED it.The first time I got it was for my 5-yo son. We planned a 2-week trip to a new place, and he had a lot of fun documenting everything. He was obsessed with reading it everyday when we returned xD He enjoys reading it from time to time to remember the fun things he got to do.I think I'll keep giving this as a birthday gift :)

Interactive book, with questions an activities ideal for kids to write about their holiday without the typical questions, made them easier to share and remember their best times
