3、 根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题。
Travelling is one thing; travelling with children is another． One problem with travel guide-books is they don´ t speak to children, who can get bored．
Enter HolidayKids, a new travel guide series (系列 ) that not only focuses on child-friendly places, but also is written for children． The series from Holiday Books cover Hong Kong, Beijing,Bali, Sydney, London and New York．
Written by Gerald McCune, a Hong Kong based Children´ s walter, the series taps into the knowledge of parents ( and their children) about what inca particular place plays well with children,either from repeated visits or from living there．
The idea is to speak to children directly so they will take part more actively in planning and in later tours． One café review for example reads: "Your parents can have a cup of coffee, while you enjoy a fruit cake and something really sweet, like a chocolate ice cream． "
But the books don´ t sugarcoat everything． A passage about Bali´ s Uluwatu temple ( 寺庙 )warns of "hawkers ( people who try and sell you things) pushing" and of monkeys stealing things．
There isn´ t too much of that, and the series doesn´ t include anything that isn´ t child-friendly．
Their colorful pages are full of attractive pictures and photos by Sally Denney． They are well organized into playfully named sections like" Food, Delicious Food" (restaurants) and "Talking with the Animals" (zoos)． Many of the restaurants reviewed show their tasty food with lively pic-tures． For example, the Natural Restaurant in Phuket serves delicious Thai dishes and is built around "trees that the owners didn´ t have the heart to cut down"．
This writing-for-kids series lacks some useful information though: you won´ t f´md details about hotels or prices because kids don´ t book rooms or worry about money． The guides aim to help one´ s travel research． Available for HK $ 90 at major bookshops．
