My Big Wimmelbook--I Can Do It!

In these oversize board books, every page is bursting with life--and tons to discover! My Big Wimmelbook--I Can Do It! brings an exciting new educational element to Wimmelbooks by teaching kids basic vocabulary. 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 repeat the phrases on each page as they 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 both in the images and through short phrases pointing out the activity that character is doing. This effortless introduction to literacy grows alongside young readers: they can focus on just the stories in the pictures, or learn terms with a parent's help, or try sounding out words on their own.

In My Big Wimmelbook--I Can Do It!, we visit everyday scenes like bustling backyards, a busy city, and a fun-filled school. Young readers will learn key terms for things they do every day as well as words for food, animals, clothes, people, toys, transportation, household items, and more. Can you find the girl washing her hands? What about the kids playing on the playground? Oh no--why is the little boy crying? Look at the family walking the dog! Each spread has 40 "I Can Do It" activity phrases that call out different relatable actions like these. This word-filled Wimmelbook adventure is more than a way to jumpstart kids' language development--it's hours upon hours of fun!

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)
