Wimmelbooks are one of the bestselling genres in Germany and worldwide, where every spread is a new panorama bustling with life. These oversize board books are virtually instruction-free, inviting kids (and parents!) to use their imagination and create stories they think fit. Wimmelbooks offer hours upon hours of fun—and an effortless introduction to literacy!
At ages 2 to 3, kids will have a blast seeking out objects and actions already familiar to them—a blue motorcycle, a person walking their dog, or a funny uh-oh moment like a character dropping his tools.
Each Wimmelbook introduces readers to a set of characters that appear in all of the book’s spreads. As kids get older (ages 3 to 4), they develop the ability to identify and find the characters in each new scene—children can spot Amina and her children flying a kite on a sidewalk, then viewing a monster truck show, then going for a walk on the beach at the end of the day.
At ages 4 to 5, kids will go beyond recognizing the characters, and will begin crafting their ongoing stories as they follow them along from scene to scene! And, with so much going on, there will always be a new story to create.
