My Review:

If, by chance, you're not familiar with Waldo he is a male character who travels the world and blends in with crowds.  His trademark outfit includes blue pants, a red and white striped shirt and stocking hat, and glasses.  In the Where's Waldo? books, it's up to you to pick Waldo out from a crowded scene.  If you are familiar with Waldo, then you already know that it's not easy to spot Waldo among the backdrop.

Take your visual senses on a journey with Where's Waldo? Exciting Expeditions.  This book showcases Waldo on several adventures.  Not only is it up to you to find Waldo, it's also up to you to find many other objects within the settings.  For instance, you may be asked to search for a dog bone, a certain book, or a particular animal.  You can check off the box beside each item you find.  

Besides being on the hunt to find Waldo, other fun things within this travel-sized book are puzzles, games and activities.  You may be asked to spot ten differences between two pictures, write out an escape plan, or even write out what sea dwellers are thinking.  In addition, there's pages for someone to write out their own adventures by detailing where they went and what they saw there.  Cut-out cards hidden within the pockets at the front and back of the book create even more "find-it" fun.

This book will keep you busy for hours, and it definitely makes you use your noggin.  Because the book is smaller, the figures and pictures are on a more stunted scale.  It makes looking for specifics  more of a challenge.  But, otherwise, this is a book that will keep you entertained and engaged.

Win It!
