Where's Wally 1

Search for Wally among crowded scenes on Wally's original journey. Martin Handford's detailed illustrations fill each page with small incidents and visual jokes, giving children plenty to investigate beyond the main search and making repeat browsing rewarding.

Age suitability and learning: Primary (6-8), Older children (9-12). The varied visual challenges suit children ready to look carefully and work through a task, with adult support where needed. They encourage observation, comparison, concentration and problem-solving; explaining a choice or checking a route gives children practice reasoning and learning from another attempt.
