Cheers!

Elliott the Otter recently toured Seattle’s Waterfront, including the Aquarium, Waterfront Park, the Great Wheel and Ivar’s. Special thanks to Seattle’s own Dapper Jones for the song “Verb Day”, a fitting tune for Elliott’s adventure. https://cooperspack.com/playground/home-movies/otter-xing/
Alaska, Seattle and New York City from a Kid’s Perspective (Moon Travel Guides Blog)
We just received a great review from Laura Martone on her American Nomad blog, care of Moon Travel Guides. Laura’s comments included:
– “the Cooper’s Pack Travel Guides can certainly help to inspire young travelers before their big family vacation”
-“I love the idea of fostering a passion for travel in young children. It’s never too soon, after all, for a child to start longing to see places beyond his or her own hometown”
– “the Cooper’s Pack Travel Guides encourage children to follow some of Brandon’s tips, such as learning about a place beforehand, traveling with a friend (even a stuffed one!), carrying a small backpack, snapping pictures along the way, and taking notes about everything seen and done during the trip.”
Thanks for the thorough and thoughtful review! You can read the review in its entirety at: http://www.moon.com/blogs/american-nomad/alaska-seattle-and-new-york-city-kids-perspective
