Goodreads

This book is a remake of one published with the same title in 2017. Within the twelve two-page spreads are many updates and new hidden objects which add to the enjoyment. Hanford offers readers the full experience of language and art; the text introduces the environment and sets the stage for extensive and crowded illustrations. Waldo is excellent at hiding; primary grade students are going to spend hours searching for their favorite character dressed in red, white, and blue. Parents, older siblings, and the intended primary school age audience can search for Waldo together. Hanford is providing hours of quiet fun. It is worth mention that the paperback binding is poor and may not last for more than a few checkouts. This version is not a necessary purchase for public libraries or school media centers and would be better as a gift or for a classroom collection.
