Where's Wally? The totally essential travel collection: all the classic books in one! by Martin Handford
Walker Books, 2011. ISBN 9781406333527.
Warmly recommended. For all those fans of this amazing little bloke,
this volume of Where's Wally will suit them when traveling or
not! A
fascinating collection of the Where's Wally books, all
collected
together in one volume, it will engender hours of fun on train, bus,
plane or car.
Of a size to make it fit snugly into your hand or handbag or jacket
pocket, the volume will be sought after by parents and grandparents
sending off children or friends on a trip, or to fill a Christmas
stocking, or Easter present, or anytime really, as it is infectiously
inviting to look into the pages and find Wally!
I love the historical pages, those where Wally is away with the Vikings
(I remember doing a jigsaw of this page once - unreal!) or in the
depths of a castle, or in a Roman arena, or building a temple with the
Aztecs. And more up to date, tempting the vampires, or in outer space,
or being a part of Where's Wally, the musical. It is all great
fun
finding the little bloke, but as you do, the humour on each page makes
the reader laugh out loud. If finding Wally isn't enough, then fold out
pages at the start and end of each section, of which there are seven,
list all the other things to be found on each page. Hours of fun and
laughter.
