Fun Fact of The Day



Where's Wally
, the first book in the Where's Waldo series, ranks #88 on the American Library Association's list of "100 Most Frequently Banned Books". How is this so, you ask? One of the female characters in the beach scene has a partially exposed breast.

I had no idea Waldo was so scandalous! I certainly don't remember seeing sideboob when I first read this book, but see if you can spot it for yourself now...



Another interesting fact about Where's Wally: the final 12, 2-page spreads were the result of more than 2 years of detailed work by illustrator Martin Handford.
