I am lucky enough to be taking my 12-year-old daughter to London this spring with another mother and daughter. While my friend and I have lots of our own plans, we wanted to make sure our daughters had some say in what we would be doing while there. Unfortunately, my daughter doesn't know very much about England (except Harry Potter facts), and didn't seem all that interested in doing any research with the guidebook I had. And she wasn't even all that excited about the trip. Not how I wanted to start off this very special trip.But fortunately, once I handed her this Not For Parents London guide, she suddenly had a lot to say! This is not a traditional adult guidebook, with lodging, and museum times. And when I first flipped through it, it didn't have the practical information I thought would be helpful. However, watching my daughter use this book as I sat nearby, I started to understand that it was doing its job very, very well. Children don't need practical information; their parents will find out when things are open, how much it costs, and how to get there. However, children, especially those like my daughter, need some help building their excitement and getting ideas. And on those two fronts, this little book delivered.My daughter flipped through this book, noting the pictures of buildings and sites that intrigued her, and reading some tidbits about history and attractions as she went along. On each two-page spread, the book focuses on a theme. If it looks interesting, they provide a website on the right-hand page where you can research an attraction related to that theme (or get info on an attraction they mentioned). I had my daughter note down the sites she was interested in and write down the websites in case I need to get practical information.
