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)--Oops! What's Wrong Here? is packed with visual humor and gentle absurdity, helping kids sharpen their observation skills while giggling at every turn. Whether they're spotting the octopus in the bathtub, the square soccer ball, or the baby pushing the parent, young readers will love discovering the "mistakes" in this topsy-turvy world.
About Wimmelbooks
Wimmelbooks originated in Germany decades ago and have become a sensation with children (and adults!) worldwide. My Big Wimmelbooks is the first-ever English-language wimmelbook series. Its books have been praised as "lively . . . and abounding with humor and detail" (WSJ) and likely to"make any parent's heart sing" (NYT).
