Memorable journals for kids' wonderful memories

I am smitten by the whimsical children's journals--and their clever pencil pockets--at Nico Paper Goods. Surprise a child with one at the beginning of your summer vacation and they can fill it with pictures and stories from your travels (younger tots can dictate stories to you). Andrea Kohler, a Swiss-born bookbinder now living in Seattle, crafts each one by hand--no two are alike. Which only makes me want to collect them all.
