Waldo knows how to fold 'em -- and is happy to teach his fans in a travel-size book full of searches and tear-out origami pages.
What do Waldo and the art of origami have in common? Find them both in this compact, portable book that combines classic Waldo searches with perforated pages containing origami designs and step-by-step instructions. Waldo fans will be eager to try their hands at folding a paper airplane, a fortune-teller, a pair of dice, a spaceship, a finger puppet, a spy code, and more. After the pull-out pages are removed, the rest of the book remains intact for tracking down Waldo and his friends, while a handy elastic closure holds everything secure until next time.
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.
