5.0 out of 5 stars where's waldo travel book, July 12, 2008

By

This review is from: Where's Waldo? The Ultimate Travel Collection (Paperback)

This is a different sort of Waldo book. First and foremost, it's small, about the size of a kid's chapter book. The cover is semi-rigid and there is an elastic band to hold it closed (a nice touch). It is not one but several books put together. I do not believe there is any new Waldo material here; it's a compilation of five previously released Waldo books, Where's Waldo?, Where's Waldo Now?, Where's Waldo? The Fantastic Journey, Where's Waldo? The Wonder Book, and Where's Waldo? In Hollywood. So if you already own or have read those books, you might be disappointed. The small size of the book means the already small details have become TINY. Nothing has been cut out of the illustrations; they've just been shrunk from oversized book sized to small book size. Woof's tail is especially hard to find.

Any Waldo book can keep you busy for hours; this is five Waldo books in one so the bang for your buck is great. The small size might be a problem for the very young or older people who's eyesight is failing, but the same small size makes it a book that can be easily tucked into Mom's purse and brought along on errands to occupy a kid while waiting for appointments, etc.

My 5 year old can spend up to an hour with this book, totally engaged. I got him a funny looking magifying glass to make the search a little more interesging. I do recommend having a magnifying glass for this book since the pictures are very very tiny. I love the elastic band, which is a nice touch. Highly recommended for any outings that require waiting.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where is waldo, December 17, 2010

This review is from: Where's Waldo? The Ultimate Travel Collection (Paperback)

I bought this book for an upcoming trip for my 4 year old. He saw a Waldo book in Target and loved it. This book is very cute and excellent for travel and would be great if you have time to sit and do it with your little one, but as the other reviews stated, the print is so small I could not find Waldo on any of them. A mature 8 year old may enjoy this more than a 4 year old. I plan on keeping it because it is cute and also has a great wrap to the book but I probably cannot use this right now for my 4 year old.
