Books with title A

The Second Edition of A (mostly) Kids Guide to Naples, Marco Island &The Everglades is a roadmap to regional discovery and fun like no other, featuring both indoor attractions and outdoor adventures for school-age kids, parents and grandparents, as well as teachers, armchair travelers and even adults on their own. Written by an award-winning travel journalist, this outrageously colorful 80-page family guidebook features Seminole Indian reservations and cowboy ranches...a children s museum and discovery centers... wild swamp expeditions and fancy sailing yachts, an extraordinary botanical garden, and family-friendly theater stages, remote islands, spectacular beach parks, and a gazillion other experiences, from sophisticated Naples to the wilds of the Ten Thousand Islands. From the very first chapter, Everything You Need to Know: Some of it is Quite Weird, to a section featuring annual festivals, parades and unique happenings, every page is a visual feast, combining practical ideas and inside tips on free things to do with freaky factoids, fascinating legends and hilarious quizzes. Several spokes-creatures, including Marigold the loggerhead turtle, Freckles the hermit crab, a roseate spoonbill named Rosie, and Marrrge the Pie-rat jump into the conversation, dispensing insightful, intelligent (and often impertinent) commentary and ideas. In this guidebook one will encounter the unexpected, such as a real-life polka-dotted, walking fish with lipstick, seashells hanging on trees, and even a kid-friendly geocache filled with dinosaur poop. Unlike typical guidebooks, no valuable space is wasted on hours and directions. Instead, the author provides a handy listing of websites and telephone numbers for the regional, state and national parks, tourist bureaus, and the 150-plus attractions, outfitters and resources mentioned in the book. Travelers who enjoy this book will also want the equally exciting companion book, A (mostly) Kids Guide to Sanibel & Captiva Islands and the Fort Myers Coast. Readers will be captivated by Bartlett's deep sense of place and humorous style, as she writes from the perspective as a travel journalist, a storyteller and a mom. Each book is a must for anyone planning a visit to Florida, as well as newcomers and locals who want to discover more exciting things to do and see in their own backyard.

From purple blobs and desert islands to the laboratory of the greatest American inventor, this outrageously colorful 80-page family guidebook crashes through all boundaries and redefines what a guidebook that's truly designed for families with school-age children can be. While it features both indoor attractions and outdoor adventures for all members of the family, including cool excuses to get muddy and super-fun reasons to dress up, there's nothing typically guidebook-ish about it. It spans the generations, making it an enchanting read for parents, grandparents, educators, armchair travelers and even adults without children. Beginning with the first chapter: "Everything You Need to Know: Some of it is Quite Weird," to the last chapter featuring a selection of annual festivals, parades and unique happenings, every page is a visual feast, combining practical ideas and inside tips on free things to do with freaky factoids, fascinating legends and hilarious quizzes. Several spokes-creatures, including Marigold the loggerhead turtle, Freckles the hermit crab and a roseate spoonbill named Rosie, get into the conversation along with a couple of dastardly pirates who provide helpful (and sometimes impertinent) commentary. In this guidebook one must expect the unexpected, such as where to encounter a tiny real-life sea creature with the head of a donkey, the tail of a monkey and the pouch of a kangaroo (hint: it's a seahorse) or a restaurant at the end of a yellow brick road where waiters wear chickens on their heads. It also includes the websites and phone numbers for 150-plus attractions, outfitters and resources. A (mostly) Kids' Guide to Sanibel & Captiva Islands and the Fort Myers Coast is the second in the Mostly Kids' Guides imprint, following A (mostly) Kids' Guide to Naples, Marco Island & The Everglades, national winner of the Silver IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award for travel.

This three-time national award-winning family guidebook is a super-fun view of the beaches, nature preserves, attractions and experiences on land and sea. From awesome museums and attractions in sophisticated Naples to outrageously exciting adventures deep in the Everglades, it's packed with tidbits of regional history and trivia that kids, parents, grandparents, educators and armchair travelers will love. They'll laugh out loud at some of the strange stories and quirky creatures that inhabit this exciting land. Airboats and swamp buggies, pirates and Indians -- even the legendary Skunk Ape -- are all inside, along with a comprehensive index with websites and phone numbers.
