We’ve teamed up with a few of our favourite family travel bloggers to bring you THE BEST competition. We have a Kindle worth £59.99 to giveaway to one lucky reader of POD Travels, Mini Travellers, Extraordinary Chaos, Like Love Do or Parentshaped.
It’s a regular occurrence to find a pile of books at the foot of POD’s bed. She loves books, always has. If she’s not reading, she’s writing stories or drawing. She’s the best storyteller I know! POD will be eight on Christmas Day so I suspect a Kindle may well be coming her way. Much as she loves touching and feeling books, they’re great for travelling. POD still enjoys her bedtime stories and is also fascinated by educational books that teach her about different countries or people. Here are a few of the books she’s enjoyed which are suitable for 5 to 8-year-olds. Our brilliant Kindle competition follows.

A world tour across 200 countries packed with amazing facts about wildlife, how people live, food and festivals. Not forgetting those interesting and quirky insights. Every country gets it’s own page so there’s plenty to keep kids occupied.

Books for their travels…
What The Ladybird Heard On Holiday (by Julia Donaldson)

James and the Giant Peach(by Roald Dahl)

But then something goes wrong! Tilly’s dad gets stuck in the past and only she can save him….will they make it back in time for tea?
The Worst Witch (by Jill Murphy)
