THE TRAVEL MOM'S ULTIMATE BOOK OF FAMILY TRAVEL

Parents can definitely get a lot out of Emily Kaufman's chatty advice for family travel. GOOD MORNING AMERICA's "Travel Mom" has many tips for planning vacations, from initial conversations about destinations to notes on actual family-friendly resorts. She moves through her sensible, and often invaluable, ideas at a rapid rate, and the warmth in her voice overcomes a strident timbre. Because of the awkwardness of trying to make actual notes from a spoken program, listeners will want to seek out the print edition. The bonus gem in this audiobook is a lively, insightful conversation about audiobooks between Kaufman and author Judy Blume. Blume's engaging manner will resonate with parents, and Kaufman's points about the family time generated by audiobook listening are worth it all.
