    Max Walther

    Board book (The Experiment, Sept. 4, 2018)
    Welcome to Wimmelworld—a land of few words, yet endless entertainment—for curious kids ages 2 to 5! In these one-of-a-kind picture books, every page is bursting with life—and tons to discover! Children as young as two have a blast pointing out recognizable things—a blue tricycle, a hungry dog, a piggyback ride—while older kids can follow the star characters from page to page, telling their stories along the way. How? 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, you’re introduced to a unique cast of characters who are hidden in plain sight on the pages that follow. As you 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. Bustling construction sites are everywhere in Wimmelcity. In My Big Wimmelbook—At the Construction Site, join Sarah the architect, Eric the surveyor, and the rest of this hardworking crew as they build roads, a downtown building, and so much more! -------------------- Wimmelbooks originated in Germany decades ago and have become a worldwide sensation with children (and adults!) everywhere. My Big Wimmelbooks is the first-ever Wimmelbook series to feature Wimmelbooks as Wimmelbooks in English.
