"Are We There Yet? Parents' Guide to 21st Century Road Trips". From the publisher: you are making your way down the highway with new, unexplored destinations sprawled out before you. The sun is shining and your favourite song is on the radio. Everything is perfect. Then, suddenly, a sound like no other pierces your serenity and the moment of peace is gone. A screeching sound that only a parent would recognize. Somehow, you are able to discern the words that are intermingled with the glass-breaking, high-pitched shrieks. Are we there yet? and the real adventure begins. Yes, only a parent knows what it feels like to have the back of his or her drivers seat kicked continuously, to have spit balls shot at the back of your head, and to struggle to hear the lyrics of your favourite songs while your children criticize music that you could have sworn was way cool just yesterday. If you are a parent, you have been through it. And if you are a parent who has not gone through it, odds are that at some point in the near future, you will. Since the inception of the road trip, there have been parents who have tried to tackle the task of entertaining children in a vehicle. In the same way that a caged cat paces back and forth growling at her captors, children writhe beneath their seatbelts figuring out ways to torture their parents. The only reprieve parents can hope for is to find ways to entertain their children in the car. And that is where this book comes in - "Are We There Yet?: A Parents Guide to 21st Century Road Trip". Sanity is going to be your new best friend. If you have children and you own a car, this must-have book provides you with age-old, tried-and-true favourite's as well as cutting-edge 21st century methods of keeping kids quiet during long rides in the car and simultaneously preserving your sanity. While the frazzled parent in the car next to you will be going through the trial-and-error approach of taming the wild child in their vehicle; you will all be calm, cool, collected and well-prepared with little angels sitting in your backseat. If only we could do this for all aspects of your life.
