Hi first off I’m sorry if this is the wrong sub and if so please direct me to the right one. I am looking for a book I had when I was a child and this seems like a long shot I know. It was an interactive children’s book I had when I was a child around the early 2000s. I maybe bought it around 2002 to 2005 time period. It was not a baby book for like 5 or 6 year olds, it was for older kids maybe about 10 to 12.
The premise of this book was that it had a somewhat where’s waldo aesthetic to it and it depicted a mall attached to a hotel in a sort of elevation perspective whereby u can see the number of floors and stuff. The big draw of this book however was that there was an elevator mechanism on the right side of the book which basically took up the whole right side of the book. (Not sure if the book had pages but if it did, then you could only flip the pages on the left hand side of the book if that makes sense.) It had like paper “machinery” and “buttons on the elevator gimmick. When you pressed and held down a button, the mechanisms inside would reveal a different image within the elevator sort of indicating that you have arrived at a different floor and based on that, you had to solve some sort of mystery that was related to the where’s waldo aesthetic.
