Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Mighty Big Book of Travel Games
Dina Anastasio · 2002
55/100
👎 Skip It
In 2002 this was a solid travel companion with enough variety to keep a range of kids busy on a long drive. In 2026 it is competing with every screen in the family vehicle, and it is losing that competition. The puzzles and word games are still fine on their own terms, but a 288-page print activity book from over two decades ago is a tough recommendation when the target audience has moved on.
