I give them books!!!
But not just any books. I give them Discover America State by State books by Sleeping Bear Press.
While planning our recent trip to D.C. I wanted to include books in our trip. So I decided it would be fun to use the state themed alphabet books by Sleeping Bear Press for the 7 different states we drove through (RI, CT, NY, NJ, DE, MD, VA).
With the help of the Rhode Island library system I managed to collect the alphabet book for each state and the city of Washington, D.C. Then on our trip I put the books in a box between Will and Ben. They could pull the books out anytime they wanted and read all about the state we were currently traveling through.
And there's a bonus with these books. Each one has an online study guides that you can download and print! So not only can a child read about Delaware, he can work a word search about Delaware.
I found the Sleeping Bear Press State by State alphabet books worked well for keeping my children entertained our a long road trip. It almost makes me want to take another trip so we can get some new books. Almost.
Do you use books to keep your children entertained on a long road trip? If so, which ones?

Good idea!
I like your idea of having them available for DURING the car ride through the state! That's so helpful and more fun for the kids, too, I would think.
These books sound really neat! What a great idea!
