This book features pen and paper activities for children to relieve boredom on long car journeys which get them to learn, think and invent whilst they travel. Some activities challenge the reader to use their imagination and invent such things as the ideal instrument panel, while others involve science they can see and do while looking out of the car window.

Review:
The words "road trip" may inspire college students, but they chill parents to the marrow, eliciting visions of wailing babies and memories of tedious trips long past. But Ed Sobey revitalizes the tired car trip. With paper and pencil (they come with the book), some paper clips, string, a map, calculator, and compass, you've a road kit to fill the miles with educational entertainment instead of the usual backseat battles. Designed for kids who can read, the book suggests playing trip navigator, learning car company icons, deciphering vanity plate rebuses, and counting, with eyes closed, the number of times the gears shift. A happy trip is an engaged trip, and Sobel's suggestions come in handy when you tire of 20 questions.
