He’s a master of the paper trail! Keep your eyes peeled for Waldo’s amazing seventh adventure -- his most interactive journey ever.

Take a page from Waldo’s sketchbook —but first you’ll have to find it! In this classic title, fans follow the wily guy through more astounding scenes, each containing a maddeningly hard-to-find piece of paper torn from his sketchpad. Add in an exciting parade, a confounding maze, the trickiest spot-the-difference challenge in history, and Martin Handford’s incomparable artwork, and you’ve got one extraordinary hands-on expedition. 

Waldo lovers will have tons of fun
— A fold-out Muddy Swampy Jungle Game with press-out counters — and tongue-twisting forfeit cards

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.

Lots of fun, tiny things to find in these eye-crossing drawings. Enough to keep the young and old alike occupied for awhile.

Received a review copy from Candlewick Press and Edelweiss. All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned.

¡El último libro de la serie!... No sé si por tal motivo me predispuse a disfrutarlo más, a manera de despedida, pero la verdad es que terminé gozándolo menos que los seis tomos anteriores; lo sentí, en cierto modo, preparado a las prisas, incluso encontré escenarios reciclados, aparecidos en ediciones exclusivas en español, publicadas en Barcelona por Ediciones B en 1991 y 1992, -¡15 años atrás de la fecha de publicación de este volumen!-, que, sumados a la expansión que se pretendió dar a la franquicia, mediante la posibilidad fallida de juegos de mesa, nunca me convencieron ni gustaron de niño, pues sentí que no correspondían a la calidad a la cual nos habían acostumbrado las tres publicaciones previas (que hasta ese momento existían).

De cualquier manera, se completó una colección memorable de libros que nunca perderán su encanto ni pasarán de moda.

I took this home for my 4 year old, and he was pretty frustrated with trying to find the tiny images. I, on the other had, loved it! I don't remember enjoying the Waldo books as a kid, but I do this go round.

This book was one of the easier ones, and oddly enough, I liked it more because of that! However, finding on the key on two pages was pretty tough! Even Seth had a hard time finding them.

I love Waldo! I hope more of them keep coming out!
