Overview

In these board books, every page is bursting with life-and tons to discover! Wimmelbooks are virtually instruction-free, inviting kids to make their own way through the busy Wimmelworld they encounter, and to craft their own stories. 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. My Little Wimmelbook-A Day at the Zoo invites young readers to follow characters through the Wimmelzoo, from the wildcat enclosure to the aviary to the monkey house and more. It's the same animal-filled day of fun, made just the right size for kids to bring on their own excursions.
