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 from page to page, telling their stories along the way.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMy Big Wimmelbook—All Aboard the Train!\u003c\/i\u003e takes kids on a few fun train rides as a busy cast of characters go on journeys from Wimmeltown Train Station to their final destinations.
