Gamebooks: MacPelican's American Adventure (Gamebooks) - Softcover

Gr 1-3--Fans of Waldo who have patience, fortitude, and great vision will be the audience for this oversized book with crowded double-page spreads. The story revolves around the MacPelicans, who leave Scotland for the 1898 Grand Louisiana Exhibition where the clan head will exhibit his great machinery. The traveling companions include some raccoons, spiders, a relative who keeps losing objects, one who can't take very good photographs, and a Dither-Not direction finder. The ensemble finds its way to Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Alaska, the Mississippi River, Colorado, and some other scenic Americana locales before arriving at their destination. Readers must search each busy scene filled with cartoons, dialogue balloons, and assorted activities for the objects in question. An additional purchase.
