A special thank you to Waldorf Publishing and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
A comical Labrador is the latest hit in the new children's book travel series, THE SPECTACULAR WORLD OF WALDORF Mr. Waldorf Travels to the Wild State of Alaska, the largest state in the United States and featured in the second installment by Beth Ann Stifflemire and Barbara Terry.
Mr. Waldorf is a lovable and adventurous canine on a voyage to see the United States and the world! His first stop was the State of Texas with loads of excitement-- and now he is headed to Alaska. Join him, for this exciting adventure.
Waldorf makes his way to the river to do some salmon fishing, and meets some new friends. Then he pans for Gold, the way they did years ago during the Gold Rush. He sets out to meet more friends and learn about the Eskimos native to Alaska.
He spots a village of igloos and makes more friends. He finds it is quite cold, and needs to bundle up. Next he goes in search of Caribou and finds a herd of them. He decides to journey back to the mountains and glaciers and looks for the famous Bald Eagles that live in Alaska. He soon finds them and her baby eaglets.
With bold colorful illustrations, ideal for kids ages seven-nine. A fun way to learn! From second-third grade reading level. In addition, younger children will enjoy the images while parents, or older siblings read to them.
My granddaughter, Avery is in AIG classes (4rd grade) and she gives the series her “thumbs up and seal of approval!” My grandson, Brady, (1st grade) loved the adventure with lots of fun along the way.
Educational, informative, adventurous, and entertaining!
Well-crafted, a great way to help children learn about different cultures, diversity, languages, geographical areas, while assisting them with reading, and social studies, as well as introducing them to new things.
A clever fun way to help kids explore other parts of the country in the privacy of their own home or school. Parents, grandparents, educators, teachers, and kids will love Mr. Waldorf and will want to follow him to the many cities, and parts of the country where he explores. A fun learning experience!
Mr. Waldorf loves to read and needs his specs. He tends to lose them along the way. Readers will need to help him find them. This comical Labrador draws children into his whimsical adventures in search of his lost reading spectacles for a little mystery.
The strong visual narrative makes this an appealing choice for a wide range of ages. By the turn of the last page, children will immediately begin imagining the next adventure. (Hi-res glossy images pop with color)!
Get onboard, and join Waldorf, as he travels to his next stop. Coming up: The beautiful exotic and mysterious China, a country in East Asia. Join him, collect them all. Ideal for gift giving!

This is another really fun book in the series- it's also really informative. In the book Mr Waldorf travels all over Alaska after he loses his glasses and starts out looking for them. He hits some of the state highlights and has fun along the way. Its a really fun way for kids to learn whilst they read.
