Cars and Things That Go (My Big Wimmelbooks)
by Stefan Lohr (Author)
My Big Wimmelbooks let kids ages 2 to 5 be the storytellers with hours of seek-and-find hands-on learning--and fun! In these oversize board 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. So start your engines! Join seventeen characters ready to venture out into Wimmeltown to work and play via car, bus, truck, and more in My Big Wimmelbook--Cars and Things That Go!
About Wimmelbooks: 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. They've been praised as "lively . . . and abounding with humor and detail" (WSJ), likely to "make any parent's heart sing." (NYT)

This oversize board book, part of a series of seek-and-find titles first published in Germany, features six busy scenes. An opening spread outlines particular characters and objects for readers to locate, including a couple with a selfie stick, reporters on the scene, and a pizza delivery man. Further pages reveal an urban transportation hub with a subway station, bus line, and monorail; a suburban town center; a "Wimmeltown Speedway" with enthusiastic race car fans; two theme parks; and a seaport. The spreads aren't as jam-packed as a typical Where's Waldo panorama, allowing for younger readers to spot characters and objects with ease. Available simultaneously: Animals Around the World, On the Farm, and At the Construction Site. Ages 2-5. (Sept.)
