Where's Wally?

''Where's Wally?'' (known in the United States and Canada as ''Where's Waldo?'') is a series of children's books created by the English illustrator Martin Handford. The books consist of a series of detailed double-page spread illustrations depicting dozens or more people doing a variety of amusing things at a given location. Readers are challenged to find a character named Wally hidden in the group. Wally's distinctive red-and-white-striped shirt, bobble hat, and glasses make him slightly easier to recognise, but many illustrations contain red herrings involving deceptive use of red-and-white striped objects. Later entries in the long-running book series added other targets for readers to find in each illustration. The books have also inspired a TV show, comic strip and a series of video games.
==History==
In 1986, Handford was asked by his art director at Walker Books to draw a character with peculiar features so that his pictures of crowds had a focal point. After much thinking, he came up with the idea of "Wally", a world traveller and time travel aficionado who always dresses in red and white.〔("Up Against the Waldo" ), by Cyndi Stivers, 14 December 1990, ''Entertainment Weekly''. Retrieved 8 Feb 2010.〕
Sometimes it would take him up to eight weeks to draw a two-page sketch of the elusive "Wally" and the characters surrounding him.〔("Interview with Martin Handford" ), Scholastic Book Club. Retrieved 7 Feb 2010.〕
The first ''Where's Wally?'' book was published on Monday 21 September 1987.〔()''Walker Books''. Retrieved 20 September 2012.〕 The ''Where's Wally?'' books were published in the UK by Walker Books and in the US under the title ''Where's Waldo?'' first by Little, Brown and Company before being taken on by Candlewick Press (Walker Books' American subsidiary publishing company). The first four titles were originally printed in Italy, but later reprinted in China.
The books became extremely popular and were localised for many different territories, with name changes for Wally in certain regions. The franchise also spawned other media in a more storyline-based form, including a TV series, a comic strip and a series of video games.
