"In helping my children research social studies projects over the years, I discovered how helpful books written for children can be to the traveler,"
reveals tipster Joann Novello of Hyattsville. "They give a condensed version
of the history of the country, describe the culture and food in a lively
manner, provide simplified maps, are illustrated with colorful photographs,
and highlight places of interest to the visitor. Now, when we plan our trips, I head for the children's section of the library and check out juvenile books on our planned destination. They are often much more interesting and readable than their 'adult' counterparts!"
We confess to having thumbed through a more than few children's guidebooks ourselves, with equally rewarding results, so we're happy to award a Travel section T-shirt to Novello for sharing her useful tip. Got a tip of your own? Sound out the fine print below.
