In this, the sixth "Where's Wally?" book, Wally journeys to the glittering sets of Tinseltown. The reader has to follow Wally through a cast of thousands, across the crowded sets of classic movies. Is he there in the chorus line of that busby Berkeley musical, or up on the ramparts of that Foreign Legion epic; on the back of the Trojan Horse or in the middle of the swashbuckling exploits of Robin Hood or the Three Musketeers? Wally, Wenda, Woof, Wizard Whitebeard and Odlaw are all in the pictures for the reader to spot. Martin Handford has written five previous books in the "Where's Wally?" series: "Where's Wally?" (runner-up for the 1988 Mother Goose Award); "Where's Wally Now?"; "Where's Wally? 3 The Fantastic Journey"; "Where's Wally? The Ultimate Fun Book"; and "Where's Wally? The Magnificent Poster Book".

| Great little book. Got to us on time. I didn't mind that it was paperback because my son is 6 and he is gentle with his stuff. |

Well, there's a weird title for a review, but if you think about it this can really train a child to pay attention to detail, which is a habit helpful in many professions. So, maybe all that staring at these big busy pictures isn't a waste of time.
This is a big big book. We checked out the original version from the library and my three year old fell in love with it so we had to have our own copy. |

| This is a great book for whiling hours away-regardless of how old you are. Remember the old Laurel And Hardy short with the jigsaw puzzle with the missing piece??? That's what looking at one of these books is like!!! You will NOT put the book down untill you find a certain character-and then curse yourself for not noticing where he/she was sooner. Definitely top class entertainment!! |

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! :) |
