The Unofficial Guide to California with Kids (Unofficial Guides)
1.  The Unofficial Guide to California with Kids (Unofficial Guides) by Colleen Dunn Bates
The list author says:
  "Aimed at families, but we didn't find it that useful. Some good ideas for places to visit, things to do, but patchy detail. Doesn't cover Disneyland or other theme parks in enough detail to be useful."

The Rough Guide to California (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
2.  The Rough Guide to California (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by Mark Ellwood

£12.74   Used & New from: £1.74
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

California (Lonely Planet Regional Guides)
3.  California (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) by Andrea Schulte-Peevers

AA Best Drives California
4.  AA Best Drives California by AA Publishing
The list author says:
  "Suggested drives through California, with places to visit on the way. Readable and good for ideas, but not enough detail or flexibility to be the only guidebook you'd need."

5.  Los Angeles and Southern California (Lonely Planet Country & Regional Guides) by Andrea Schulte-Peevers

DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: California
7.  DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: California by Annelise Sorensen
The list author says:
