    Know a Waldo fan who’s a wiz with words? Someone on the go who could use a fun distraction? Sharpen all the pencils for a travel-size book with creative challenges on every page.


    Words, words, words! Get ready to try tricky crosswords and word searches, crack some codes, wrangle with riddles, and even come up with puns and acronyms, all while searching for Waldo and his pals. And the challenges don’t stop there: this search-and-find wordplay book also boasts a marvelous matching-pairs card game suited for playing solo or with friends. Just tuck everything back inside when you’re done, thanks to the handy format featuring a neat elastic fastening.
    Martin Handford spent much of his childhood drawing and his earliest influences were cinema epics and playing with toy soldiers. After art college, he began working as a freelance illustrator specializing in drawing crowd scenes for numerous clients. Martin now gathers his inspiration from a huge variety of sources; films, visiting museums and art galleries, reading comics and books, and collecting ephemera and trivia. He is fascinated by crowds, and is attracted to their vibes, patterns and details – especially humor; "I love their movement and energy." Gradually, from all this meticulous research, the inspiration for a picture emerges, which Martin embellishes with his own ideas to create astonishing scenes. Each picture takes Martin many months to draw. "As I work my way through a picture, I add Waldo when I come to what I feel is a good place to hide him," he explains.
