Why read it?
1 author picked The Wonder Book as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is perfect for looking at on your own or sharing. The wealth of detail is amazing! Open any page and I am absorbed for hours looking for various people and objects and enjoying the funny scenes of massive crowds. I still have my original copy from 1987 and am delighted anew whenever I take a peek. The other Where’s Waldo books in the series are equally entertaining.
From Deborah's list on The best children’s books in which to happily lose yourself for hours.
