*Where's Waldo? The Complete Collection* by Martin Handford
Where's Waldo? The Complete Collection
by Martin Handford
Grades 4-6 184 pages Candlewick August 2008 Paperback    

Most children are somewhat familiar with Waldo, the tall, skinny character dressed in a red-and-white striped shirt, blue pants, brown walking cane and round glasses who hides among the pages of his books - leaving readers to search for his exact location. The only treat more enjoyable than one Where’s Waldo? book is this charming case that holds all six books in the series.

Here, in Where's Waldo? The Complete Collection, newbies can meet Waldo at their own pace, while Waldo experts can focus on the more advanced editions to pinpoint his whereabouts as well as those of his friends.

The collection includes Where’s Waldo?, Where’s Waldo Now?, Where’s Waldo? The Fantastic Journey, Where’s Waldo? The Wonder Book, Where’s Waldo? In Hollywood, and Where’s Waldo?The Great Picture Hunt. Every page is covered with masterful and detailed illustrations that standing alone would be a treat but also include the added bonus of the fun-filled activity of finding Waldo tucked away somewhere in the crowd.

Little ones will likely run their tiny fingers over the pages to find figures dressed in red and white stripes, while those who are more advanced will not be fooled by lookalikes dressed the same but wearing glasses of a different shape. The search for Waldo has become a sport for both children and adults, and Where's Waldo? The Complete Collection is the only equipment you need for hours upon hours of family fun.
