A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Adventures Around The Globe is one of several fun activity books in the “Adventures In…” series.
This is a heavy book with large glossy pages. There’s maps, spot the difference games, and pages to color.
There’s also a lot of fun facts about the places you visit in the book. Learn about the native wildlife, about the oceans, about mountains and cities and people.
Solve the maze, find the animals, and then head to the back of the book. There are pages and pages of stickers. You find the corresponding page and start sticking away, creating your own tapestry of adventure.
Three generations of my family, my mother, myself, and my son, had some fun with the Spot The Difference games. We took turns trying to find all of them and whoever did it in the least amount of time won.
I really wanted to get to the stickers and create some fun adventures. But, I have plans to give this book as a gift and let a special someone have all the fun.
The pages are thick and shiny and the colors so vivid the images leap out at you. And when I opened the book, it smelled so good. I love the smell of books.
Even after you do all of the activities, you’ll keep coming back to this wonderful book. There’s always something you missed, some fun fact or something hidden in a picture.
I recommend this to all ages. For the kids, they’ll spend hours immersed in these activities, and for the adults, hey, we are all kids inside.

Are you ready to get an introduction to some of the many beautiful and amazing places on Earth? Lonely Planet Kids’ new book “Adventures Around the Globe” promises plenty of knowledge and fun as young readers explore the planet, continent by continent. The section for each continent includes a few pages of fun facts, a two-page sticker activity spread, a few coloring pages (the pages are glossy, so felt-tip markers are necessary), and a visual puzzle of some sort. Children of all ages will love this book; younger children will enjoy hearing the facts and making a mess of the sticker and color pages, while older children will reread each section over and over again, learning more each time. The stickers printed on clear plastic look really nice, but many are not cut well and are difficult to fully get off the paper backing; some children will have a hard time keeping them from tearing in the process, which is a little disappointing. But this is just one small flaw in an otherwise awesome book, and and most kids will happily spend hours working their way through it.

We received this book as part of a tour to give an honest review.
As a parent I was very impressed with this book, it is filled with a lot of not only cool facts but awesome pictures and activities for the kids to do. So not only are you learning but you are having fun while doing it.
K was really excited to read this book and he got very happy when he realized that he could decorate with stickers on some of the pages. You use the stickers to decorate certain places like maybe Venice, or The Great Barrier Reef. When asked what his favorite part was his reply was "everything it is so cool."
The recommended age says 3-5 but I would say it would be better for children between 5 on up instead.
This is a great book to have and even if you read it once and do all the activities within the book you can always pick it up to read it over. The pictures are awesome and I think this will get kids to want to find out more cool facts and information about the different places within this book.

Well-suited for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early primary grades, Adventures Around the Globe is filled with activities that reinforce the uniqueness of each continent. From mazes to coloring indigenous masks, finding the differences between geisha costumes to creating a personalized map with 12 pages of 250 removable and reusable stickers (thank you!), there is a lot to keep a youngster busy.
Plus, the facts listed on the pages for each region are unique and utterly fascinating. My toddler loves the idea of glowing worms living in caves in New Zealand. This portable, sturdy paperback is a great item to have on a trip for the educational and entertainment value.
Recommended for young children that are interested in learning about the world or those that aren't because after seeing this book, they will be.
Note: I recieved a PDF copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
