In these oversize board books, every page is bursting with life--and tons to discover! Children as young as age 2 have a blast pointing out recognizable things--a blue tricycle, a hungry dog, a piggyback ride--while older kids can follow the star characters through all kinds of bustling scenes.
Wimmelbooks are virtually instruction-free, inviting kids to make their own way through the busy Wimmelworld they encounter--and to craft their own stories. First, they're introduced to a unique cast of characters who are hidden in plain sight on the pages that follow. As children seek them out, each character's storyline unfolds, but it's up to kids to interpret the scenes and create stories they think fit. It's hours upon hours of fun--and an effortless introduction to literacy, to boot.
My Big Wimmelbook(R)--Tractors Everywhere brings kids to a bustling farm where tractors are chugging away: churning up the fields, shoveling scrap, mowing grass, and hauling bushels of apples and potatoes. Children can follow a cast of hard workers and their machines through rural life in the spring, summer, fall, and winter, discovering how the seasons change what's going on in nature and which jobs the tractors do. There's also a spread of diagrams with simple labels so curious kids can learn to point out parts like the tires, cab, and engine.
About Wimmelbooks

Its books have been praised as "lively . . . and abounding with humor and detail" (WSJ) and likely to "make any parent's heart sing" (NYT).
