making walking with children funApril 25, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was introduced to this book at Easter by a friend who was walking with her 7-year old daughter. We had great fun. The lists of things to look for with each walk kept all 3 adults entertained as well as the intended recipient. The instructions in the book are clear enough to follow without using a map although I would recommend introducing children to map reading as a matter of course. It makes the walk much more interesting. No play parks were evident on the walks we did, but the idea of the book is to get children to enjoy the great outdoors and quality time with the parents, not have yet more entertainment provided for them.
I shall be buying a copy to give me ideas of short lowland walks to take my new puppy on.
Walks with ChildrenApril 15, 2003 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have twins with disabilities but this book has encouraged us as a family to undertake walks listed in the book.
However as children appreciate colour and photographic evidence, I feel the book would benifit from some additional colour photos and more detailed maps for the adults.
The checklist is an excellent idea and could be improved on using images which younger children and children with learning disabilities would easily identify and use.
Great walks for children 3.5 years upwards + adults!January 17, 2002 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Contains interesting and very attractive walks. Some are 2 miles long though some are more. Very few books cater for children (shorter distances)and this is first class.
It does not compromise walks for adults, didn't come across any childrens play grounds!
