The BEST Waldo book,
By
This review is from: Where's Waldo Now?: Reissue (Hardcover)
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 spend countless hours trying to find other special characters and situations. Mentally, this activity is similar to assembling a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle, only it's more fun. 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 ability to pick out details. This makes it fun to read together and compete with your kids of virtually all ages, not just 4-8 as the Amazon reading level suggests. Now when you know the basic idea of Waldo books but only want to get one (just one book can keep anyone busy for days!) and don't know which one to pick, "Where's Waldo Now" is definitely the best one in my opinion, being the most educational and interesting of the series. It features Waldo traveling through time from one era to another. He has to visit cavemen, ancient Rome, Vikings, Crusaders, a Middle Age European town, Aztecs, samurais, pirates, a royal court, Wild West, and finally a space colony. Definitely worth the money.

Championship Waldo Watching . . . Past and Future!,
By Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 109,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 100 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Where's Waldo Now?: Reissue (Hardcover)
If you haven't met Waldo before, he's a funny-looking cartoon fellow who appears amid busy scenes filled with other characters and objects. Although he's always out in the open and quite distinctive, finding him takes some careful looking. The new edition of Where's Waldo Now? has a great feature. Waldo has been moved in each illustration from the first edition of this book! So if you loved these illustrations before, here's your chance to enjoy them all over again. The scenes start with cave man days, and move on to ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, Viking voyages, the Crusades, the Middle Ages in Europe, Aztecs, 1600 in Japan, 1750 as a pirate, 1900 at a Paris ball, the Gold Rush, and also a future look at a space colony. Although finding Waldo is challenging enough, this fascinating volume is filled with dozens of other people and objects to seek. There are 25 Waldo watchers, each one of whom is unique to an illustration. You also get Wenda, the Wizard Whitebeard, and Odlaw in each illustration. In addition, there's a mystery character in each illustration whom you need to find on your own. (There's a clue at the end of the book if you can't figure it out.) Woof the dog appears just as a tail in each illustration. You also have Woof's bone, Wenda's camera, Wizard Whitebeard's scroll, and Odlaw's binoculars in each illustration. At the end of the book are lists of a dozen or so characters and objects to find in each specific illustration. If you haven't seen this book before, the illustrations are done across a two-page spread filled from the edges of both pages in both directions. The characters and objects are very small. You can profitably use a magnifying glass if you have trouble seeing small things. Bright light is a must! As always, the details are filled with lots of humorous situations that will keep you amused as you search for your goals. This tininess is a plus for youngsters. The objects and characters seem like they are youngster size in each case! You can also use the illustrations to teach a little world history to your youngsters. Basically, this book can provide dozens of hours of laughter and shared fun. You can obviously set up your own searches in addition to the suggested ones. After you finish seeing how hard it is to find a needle in a haystack that is out in the open, you should think about where else the object of your searches is hard to find. How about locating loyal, considerate friends whom you enjoy? Or a great job? Or an exciting hobby? Or a life-improving book? Look for the best . . . all around you!

Waldo in same location every page,
By queen of complaints "queen of complaints" (Eagle, Idaho) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Where's Waldo Now?: Reissue (Hardcover)
I love Waldo and all but in this book he is located in the same position on almost every page. There are so many wonderful spots they could hide him but they end up putting him in either the bottom left or right side of the page almost every time. The kids got thru the book very fast and they were disappointed with him being in the same place all the time. There are definitely not enough pages either.
