If you have never seen a Waldo book before, here's a short overview:"Where's Waldo" series consists of unique colorful picture books where the illustrations are filled with hundreds of tiny characters doing all kinds of funny things. Your goal as a reader is to find Waldo, a guy in red and white shirt on all those pictures. If finding Waldo gets too easy then you can try to find his companions, his friend Wendy, Wizard Whitebeard, bad guy Odlaw, and dog Woof. And after that you can spend countless hours finding miscellaneous special items unique to each picture.Mentally, this activity is similar to assembling a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle, only it's more fun.Each book follows a theme, this particular one is set in Hollywood, and every picture is a movie set. There's a black and white silent movie, some history movies, a musical, a fantasy, a western, and others.One great thing about Waldo books is that even small children can spot Waldo as well or even better than adults, it doesn't require any skills other than good eyesight and attention to details. This makes it fun to read together and compete with your kids of virtually all ages, not just 4-8 as the reading level suggests."Where's Waldo: In Hollywood" has some particularly hard extra puzzles, harder than any other Waldo book that I've seen. The ultimate problem is in the inside of the back cover: there's a list of 176 character faces, almost all of which appear somewhere among the thousands of figures throughout the book. But ten of them do not, and you have to find out which ten! I don't know anyone that has successfully found all of them yet. So I challenge you to find them! :)
My son just turned 5 and received this book as a birthday present. He sits for _hours_ looking at it. He is a very physically active child and very few things hold his attention very long, but this does
My son and I love this book. After viewing the original red and yellow covered Waldo books countless times, it was nice to discover that this book has added hidden items to find that the older books do not. Finding the tiny key and bone on each page are the holy grail finds for us and my 3 year old has memorized the location of these items on every page : )
I loved Waldo books when I was a kid, and still appreciate them today as an adult. The intricacy and creativity involved in many of the pages is quite impressive. I wasn't sure what to expect with Waldo in Hollywood, but I think it was done quite well/tastefully.I think it's a classic, better than some of the newer Waldo books.
My daughter had never heard of Where's Waldo and I needed to fix that! I was so glad to find such a variety of books to choose from and at such a great price. I bought two but will be getting the rest.
Ordered the hardcover for my 6-year-old nephew for this past Christmas and he loved it! We spend a few hours looking for Waldo and his friends :) Reminded me of my childhood. Was properly packaged and arrived in excellent condition!
A fun book that does not require too much reading but concentration and visual attention to detail. Purchased for Boston's Children's Hospital via Child's Play charity, hopefully some kids will find it useful during stays there or they are gifted this as they are getting discharged. I remember childhood hospital stays as a foggy time. Check out Child's Play: http://www.childsplaycharity.org/
If you are looking for a Where's Waldo book that is very small than this is the book for you. I was hoping that it would be an 8x10 book but is is approximately half that if not smaller. You have to have very good eyesight to find anything yet alone Waldo. After I got it, I looked it up online and noticed that it said "Mini Edition." So really it is my fault for not paying attention.
