Where's Waldo? 30th Anniversary Edition Paperback – May 16, 2017

My son absolutely loves this book. I remember searching for Waldo when I was a kid, and it’s been so much fun watching him get just as hooked. The deluxe edition is great because the pages are packed with even more details, and the artwork is as colorful and chaotic as I remember.What I didn’t expect was how competitive it would get. We started off casually searching together, but now it’s a full-on race to see who can find Waldo first. Spoiler: he usually wins. The other day, he even challenged his grandparents, and let’s just say they were not prepared for his speed.If you’re looking for something that’s screen-free and still keeps kids engaged for ages, this is a fantastic choice. Plus, it’s surprisingly fun for adults too—until you lose to a literal child for the tenth time in a row.

So much fun highly recommended it for all ages the only thing that would make it better is if it had an answer key with it. Some of the other hidden challenges are not clear and you need an answer key to verify if your correct. This is a great exercise to keep your mind sharp

Good Waldo book. Brings back the nostalgia. The niece and nephew enjoyed it. Seems like not much has changed in the Waldo world. Good fun.

I can’t believe I missed out on Waldo growing up! It seems like everyone else had this book as a kid except me. But now, it was recommended for my son as part of his ADHD support plan—specifically to help with his slower processing speed. They use this book as a brain-training tool to improve information processing, even in overwhelming situations.Honestly, I think it’s great for anyone, not just kids. I opened a page and immediately felt a little overwhelmed trying to find Waldo among all the lookalikes. That’s when it clicked—this is how the brain training works. By developing patience and learning to focus on activities like this, you’re essentially retraining your brain. Aha! It all makes sense now.We’ve already decided to buy the whole series because it’s quickly become a family favorite!

Very cool and fun book. I had fun with it with my 7 yr old grandson.

This review if for Where's Waldo? Deluxe Edition.There are a number of Where's Waldo books, and this one is the easiest in my opinion. I found Waldo on all the pages in less than 15 min, but it takes a bit longer when you add in all the other things to find that are listed on each page's flap, as well as, the other Waldo characters. Now I am 30 years old and had already found Waldo on all the pages as a child. so I probably had some subconscious memories as to where Waldo was and thus found him much faster than most people would. Each scene also has plenty to see and a lot to laugh about. So while you are searching for items, Waldo, and Waldo characters... you might just stop and look at things and laugh. As a child, this book really was fascinating and as an adult it will be so fun to re-find everything with my son.My only complaints are that Waldo loses items he carries in each scene, which means his overall appearance changes as you progress through the pages and thus you may not realize you already found him (I thought he was an additional character instead.) Also, the folded over flaps make the pages a bit wavy in the middle, but I like having the checklist of items to find so conveniently located. Lastly, the dust jacket is a poster, but you really want to keep it on the book... so the free poster is really more of gimmick.Overall, I think this book and a magnifying glass would be a great gift for boys or girls, but especially boys.

and I couldn't resist ordering this for my 20 month old grandson. Within the day, he was happily locating the Waldo's.
