About the author

Martin Handford, the man behind the mind-boggling Waldo books, began his career as a freelance illustrator specializing in drawing crowd scenes. The turning point came when he was asked to create a book showcasing his impressive talent, and the character Waldo was born—originally to provide a link between each scene. "I can't tell you how pleased I am that Waldo has taken on a life of his own," Martin Handford says. "I'd like to inspire children to open their minds to explore subjects more, to be aware of what's going on around them. I'd like them to see wonder in places that may not have occurred to them." Martin Handford lives in England.

Where’s Waldo? The Ultimate Waldo Watcher Collection by Martin Handford is a boxed set that includes seven classic Where’s Waldo? titles. Included in this set are: Where’s Waldo?; Where’s Waldo? Now; Where’s Waldo? The Fantastic Journey; Where’s Waldo? In Hollywood; Where’s Waldo? The Wonder Book; Where’s Waldo? The Great Picture Hunt; and Where’s Waldo? The Great Paper Chase. The seven paperbacks have been redesigned- formatting throughout the books is cohesive, and you can see in the photo (to the left) how the spines of the books (when lined up in numerical order) make for one cool Waldo design! Each of the books also contain multiple extra search challenges for the super-searchers! The seventh title included, Where’s Waldo? The Great Paper Chase is a special edition unto itself which includes: a Muddy Swamp Jungle Game (all perforated paper pieces included); and a Wacky Waldo Circus (all pieces included), in which you can carefully tear-out the perforated pieces, and put together a fun circus show using the pieces- and your imagination! End papers for book seven include an attached envelope at the book’s back-end- a handy storage place for all of the game pieces. For the Where’s Waldo? fan, this set could not be more perfect. My daughter has been into all sorts of seek-and-find books pretty much since she was a toddler and now, at seven, still can’t get enough of seek-and-finds! I can tell you that she is absolutely taken with the Where’s Waldo? books and this set in particular. It has been a special treat for us to read and search together sharing one Waldo book, or just sitting side-by-side, each with a Waldo book in our lap.

I received a copy of this title courtesy of partner Candlewick Press/Penguin Random House in exchange for an honest review. All opinions and comments are my own.
