Where’s Wally?

Hello there! 😉 By any chance have you seen my friend Wally?

Pan Macmillan South Africa

He was last spotted in a crowd of people near Fairytale land but seemed to have disappeared while trying to make his way through the crowd.

Kitana and I are busy colouring the town hoping to find Wally soon!

Would I make a good storyteller? 😛

When we arrived back from USA, we had a few deliveries waiting for us in my office. One of them was the second book for our book party with Pan Macmillan South Africa. You can read the first book review here.

I’ve never done a book party before so this is pretty new to me but I am loving it thus far! We adding interesting titles every month to Kitana and Kiaan’s book collection. My daughter loves story time and looks forward to it every night. She’s also very artistic and has tons of colouring books!

I’ve never bought her a book on Wally before because I didn’t think she would enjoy it. I was surprised that she actually liked this one. Maybe because she can go crazy with colours?

There’s a lot in the book and it can most probably take you at least 2 months to get to every single character (if you a perfectionist like me). Many pages have a few pictures coloured in which makes it a bit easier.

The book can be enjoyed by young and old artists alike!

It’s a good colouring book to get for kids that love a bit of a challenge.

It’s hours worth of entertainment. I think it is a good book to carry on a long distance flight for an 8-year-old and older.

About the Author

Martin Handford spent much of his childhood drawing and his earliest influences were cinema epics and playing with toy soldiers. At art college he continued to draw what he calls “busy and militarily correct battle scenes” which led to his job as a freelance illustrator specialising 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 humour; “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 months to draw. “As I work my way through a picture, I add Wally when I come to what I feel is a good place to hide him,” he explains. Source: www.amazon.com

  2. This brings back memories from when I was a kid! Where’s Waldo was one of the biggest sellers back then! Your daughter is adorable! My son might like this book now because there’s a lot of coloring in it.

  8. That’s awesome that there is a coloring book for this now. I remember I had so many of the Where’s Waldo books when I was younger. I wonder why it’s called Wally now and not Waldo.

  9. Oh my goodness, I LOVED Where’s Waldo when I was younger. It was such a blast, and I really enjoyed hunting him down all the time in the books my grandmother had.

  33. Copper scrap export pricing Mining has a long and fascinating history that spans over 70 centuries. Humans have been extracting minerals and ores from the earth for thousands of years, and the methods used for mining have evolved significantly over time. One of the earliest forms of mining involved surface mining, where miners would dig shallow pits to extract ores such as copper and gold. As mining progressed, miners began to dig deeper and underground mining techniques were developed. Underground mining allowed for the extraction of minerals from deeper and narrower veins, but it also presented new challenges such as the need for ventilation and support structures. As mining continued to advance, technology played an increasingly important role. New tools and equipment were developed to increase efficiency and safety, such as drills, blasting equipment, and ventilation systems. The industrial revolution also brought about significant changes in mining practices, with steam engines allowing miners to extract minerals at a much faster rate than ever before. Mining has had a significant impact on human history and continues to play an important role in modern society. The minerals and ores that are extracted from the earth are used in a wide range of products, from electronics and technology to construction materials and consumer goods. However, mining also has its downsides. It can be damaging to the environment, and working conditions for miners can be dangerous and unhealthy. As we continue to rely on mining to provide the materials we need for modern life, it is important to balance the benefits of mining with its potential negative impacts and work towards sustainable and responsible mining practices Scrap metal recovery and salvage Copper scrap price analysis Copper scrap processing efficiency Copper scrap recycling certifications Copper powder recycling Metal reclaiming depot
