Where's Waldo?

by Martin Handford

Waldo is back in the spotlight! If you can find him . . . Use a paper “spotlight searcher” as a magic flashlight to illuminate six magnificent movie scenes.

Follow Waldo and friends as they wander through film-studio sets and out on location in this sensational search-and-find adventure. With the help of the enclosed spotlight searcher, pan across a variety of movie-related scenes—from scary science fiction to monster fantasy, cozy costume drama to historical epic, sporting glory to a glittering awards ceremony—in search of Waldo, his supporting cast of pals, and more. And don’t miss the bonus features: games, mazes, and searches waiting to grip you on every page. All light-up magic is cleverly designed with paper (no batteries called for), and extra spotlight searchers are available online for printing. So, ready? Places everyone? Action!

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.
