Where's Waldo? The Wonder Book: Deluxe Edition

I purchased several versions of the Where’s Waldo series for my grandson (he recently turned 6) for Christmas and birthday recently. I wanted something that didn’t involve electronics that he could do alone or with others. He absolutely loves the books! They’re perfect for days when the weather’s bad, or he’s winding down a busy day. And I’m happy to see that he’s enjoying the variety of alternative activities provided in the books-he’s constantly coming up with activity variations of his own. Great fun for the whole family!

I love this book, I'm retired so I gives me something to do.

Bought as a gift and he loved it.

The book itself looks fun and is a gift but unfortunately this page is ripped and folded right out of the package. Disappointing but the kids will still enjoy it I'm sure

My grandchildren love Waldo. I was glad to find another book they can spend a lot of time reading and looking at.

I got it for a 5 yr old. They need to be at least 7 or 8 to enjoy it.

just what the grandkids wanted

I first got turned onto Waldo books while in college. I was working at a small bookstore, and spied a paperback of Where's Waldo? in Hollywood. I've had it all these years, but recently brought it out of the basement for my 7 year old son. He was thrilled with that book, so I got him Where's Waldo?: The Wonder Book in hardback for Christmas.While the Hollywood book is difficult, The Wonder Book also has some difficult scenes! In one, I STILL haven't found Wizard Whitebeard. Arggh!Martin Handford is the creator of the Where's Waldo? books, which features elaborately detailed scenes, hidden objects, and visual puns. The reclusive, bespectaled author works fervently for EIGHT WEEKS for EACH of the 2-page spreads on these books. This means that the Where's Waldo Wonder Book took him 1.8 years to create! Amazing!My son and I love to pore over the pages--not only looking for Waldo, Wenda, Wizard Whitebeard, Odlaw, and Woof--but also other clues. For example, Wenda always loses a camera, Woof a bone, the Wizard a scroll, and so on. BUT, at the end of the book, there are TWO pages of checklists for other things to find in EACH of the visual puzzles! Some are quite hard to find. For example, a clown follows Waldo and his friends all through the end of the book. One of the challenges is to find the scene in the book where the clown changes the color of his hat band.The creative scenes you'll find in the Wonder Book include:*Once Upon a Page*Clown Town*The Fantastic Flower Garden*The Odlaw Swamp*The Might Fruit Fright*The Corridors of Time*The Game of Games*The Battle of the Bands*Toys! Toys! Toys!*Bright Lights and Night Frights*The Cake Factory*The Land of WoofsOdlaw Swamp and Land of Woofs are *especially* tricky, because all the characters look the same...except for one defining element.As with all the Waldo books, there's also some great visual puns that will tickle adult funny bones. Make no mistake...the Where's Waldo? series isn't just for kids! I love searching for the characters and items as a way of relaxing and enjoying my son's company.Highly recommended!

I bought this for my little godson not really thinking that mini was that small. However the clue is in the title as you get a free magnifying glass.

Where is wally????Great book for keeping the kids interested and entertained.Can kill quite a bit of time.

great book very good condition but not "NO MAGNIYFING GLASS". come on think about it.!

Should have been a treat but the magnifying glass was missing so couldn't do it properly. Bit of a shame

GOOD BOOK
