Chewbacca, a notorious rebel ally, is wanted for crimes against the Empire. Not often seen without his partner-in-crime, Han Solo, this Wookiee has evaded capture on multiple occasions, due in no small part to the fastest freighter in the universe, the Millennium Falcon. Chewie, as he is more commonly known, has a sizeable bounty on his head. Can you find this furry criminal before other accomplished bounty hunters beat you to it? A uniquely illustrated search and find format, perfect for Star Wars fans young and old! Now in paperback!

Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.
Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong.
Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.
The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands.
The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world. On January 23, 2006, it was announced that Disney would purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. The deal was finalized on May 5. On December 31, 2009, Disney Company acquired the Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4.24 billion. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.
It’s my birthday today (yay!). And look what I got!
I do like Wookies. I had far too much fun trying to find Chewbacca in here. Some of the spreads were quite challenging. (And this was for kids?) One took me almost a whole ten minutes. There were lots of brown aliens in a brown setting, so it became tricky to distinguish not only the wookies, but the particular wookie I was looking for. This was good childish fun. Thankfully, I got some other books for my birthday too……I may have been underwhelmed had it just been this!
Honestly though, I've got some much better books lined up for tonight! Because that’s what cool book nerds do, they stay in and read special books on their birthdays. I wouldn’t change it for the world.
If you'v ever enjoyed the Where's Wally? children's books and you're a fan of Star Wars then you're going to LOVE Where's the Wookie? It's exactly what you'd expect from a children's activity book in this style, it has some fabulous and very detailed cartoon images of very recognisable Star Wars locations and you have to search these double spread images for Chewbacca and 9 other characters from the movies (including Han Solo, the Millennium Falcon, Boba Fett & Bossk among others).
Some characters are fairly easy to find while others will take much longer (in fact there are a few I STILL haven't spotted!) but there is definitely hours of entertainment for all ages in the book.
Here are a couple of the images included in the book (pictures taken from Amazon):
Ewok Village

Where's the Wookiee? will make a great Christmas present or socking filler for Star Wars fans of all ages.
When I unwrapped this birthday present I actually laughed out loud - especially as it came from a friend who I know to be a huge Star Wars fan. I flicked through it a couple of times but actually sat down last week, and again today with the last scene, to try and find Chewie on each one. I've found quite a few (and all the Han Solos) but there are definitely some still evading me, so I am sure there will be more smiles to be had in future too. and I promise I'm not just adding it here to boost my book total this year to a princely two so far ;)
For a book of this type, it's very good, being amusing, well-drawn and impeccably printed. A price of £9.99 may seem a little strong for a book which won't keep the little 'uns quiet for very long. The main part - finding 10 characters in each scene including Chewie himself, Boba Fett, Han Solo etc - doesn't take very long at all. The secondary part - finding things like a Wookiee with a cloak, an Imperial officer taking a photo, are a little less interesting and occasionally debatable when the person in question only arguably matches the description, is printed down the fold of the spine or cut at the edge of a page. There is very little to actually read and your kids might drive you mad asking you to confirm that they found the mouse droid or what Mon Calamari looks like, as there are no answers included at the back of the book. 4/5
Boyfriend got this for his birthday. We spent a good amount of time looking for the different characters in each scene. They also have extras to find in the back, just like the similar books from our childhoods. I have always enjoyed looking at these types of books. I kept all the old ones from when i was a kid, just incase there are any young children in my own future. (my own or my sisters)
Every page has a different location in which you have to find Chewbacca, Han Solo, and the bounty hunters. The pictures are really detailed and have a lot of secrets to discover, especially for Star Wars fans. This is a great way to share your love of Star Wars with your children.
Yes...I am a child. Good hour of fun that. You search for many characters, not just Chewie. I was getting frustrated in parts so lord knows what kids feel like.
A bit of fun, except for the fact that the guide for what to look for has illustrations of a completely different quality to the ones you actually have to find. Some of them look like totally different people. Given there's no 'answers' in the back either, this complicates things. For one character, I had at least three possible sightings and couldn't exactly confirm for myself which one it was actually supposed to be.
This book has some of the best scenes from Star Wars. The Wookie is very sneaky with his hiding spots. Make sure you be careful where you look! But don't just find the Wookie, there's more to find you know?!
Nancy has not seen Star Wars, but she was still excited to find “Chewy” and even beat me to finding him once or twice. It was fun looking for other characters and seeing more details from the movies.
Actually quite a good seek-and-find! An answer key would be useful, and you do have to be knowledgeable about Star Wars characters and races for the extras, but overall well done!
This was perfectly amusing and adorable. Having grown up with Where's Wally and playing Star Wars, it was like the best ever role reversal and I so enjoyed trying to find some of the greatest rebels and treacherous villains of the galaxy like Han Solo, Chewie, Bossk and Gredo. Doesn't mean I always *did* find them (Chewie has camouflage in down to an art), but I had a lot of fun doing it. The only thing that really didn't have me sold was the art style itself- I'd have liked something more detailed, so each face was unique and stood out in it's own right. Some of them felt incomplete and hurried, which- for me- doesn't fit the franchise.
A fantastic addition to the "Where's Wally" style of book, but personally I found this much more engaging. Each puzzle page you not only have to find Chewbacca, but also Han Solo, the Millennium Falcon, Greedo and much more. Each puzzle page then has another set of unique, trickier items to find as well.
