When was the last time you and your child took a tour of the Pyramids or peeked over the edge of the Great Wall of China? How long has it been since you moon-walked on the moon or took a swim to the bottom of the ocean floor?

Reading travel books, guides and magazines together is a great way to introduce your little explorer to new worlds and cultures beyond their door without ever leaving home.

Open a book, begin an adventure. Run with the bulls in Pamplona. Find out why the leaning tower of Pisa leans. Take a drive along historic Route 66. Sip from the world’s largest chocolate waterfall in Anchorage, Alaska.

Turn your sofa into a plane, a train, a boat or a rocket ship. Imagination is your road map and reading is your first-class ticket to anywhere. No passport required.
