<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A book for beginning readers, chock-full of vibrant illustrations that tell stories without the use of words, depicting a fun-filled, bustling day as the citizens of Christmas Village celebrate Christmas Eve<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>My Big Wimmelbooks let kids ages 2 to 5 be the storytellers with hours of seek-and-find hands-on learning--and fun!</b> <p/> In these oversize board books, every page is bursting with life--and tons to discover! 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. <p/> 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. <p/> In this special holiday-themed Wimmelbook, it's Christmas time! Christmas Eve, to be exact. From the outdoor ice rink to the bustling holiday market, a busy cast of characters is having a great time as they celebrate by skating, sledding, shopping, and singing away. But will the little boy get the tractor he wants for Christmas? And where is Santa? Kids follow along and find out in <i>My Big Wimmelbook--Christmas Village.</i> <p/><b>About Wimmelbooks</b> <p/> Wimmelbooks originated in Germany decades ago and have become a worldwide sensation with children (and adults!) everywhere. <i>My Big Wimmelbooks</i> 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" (<i>WSJ</i>), likely to "make any parent's heart sing." (<i>NYT</i>)<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Wimmelbooks are short on words, heavy on detail-rich illustrations. This is one of those books that both the two-year-old and four-year-old will have fun with, albeit in different ways. And while I'm dreaming of the day we'll be visiting Christmas markets and the ski slopes, I can live vicariously through these pages."<b>--Amazon Editors' Picks</b> <p/> "The large board books in the <i>My Big Wimmelbook </i>series are full of lively, crowded tableaux of people and animals going about their business in different settings. [Wimmelbooks] abound with witty details to draw in younger children . . . and older toddlers will want to follow the wordless interactions that spill from one page to the next in these eventful pictures."<b><i>--The Wall Street Journal</i></b> <p/> "You know the kid who can conjure an entire imaginary world by animating, say, the sugar packets she finds at the restaurant table? That one will thank you when you put any volume of <i>My Big Wimmelbook </i>in front of her. . . . Picture Richard Scarryesque, diorama-like spreads with a hint of <i>Where's Waldo </i>junior detective. The combination should encourage long contemplative sit-downs that will make any parent's heart sing."<b><i>--The New York Times Book Review</i></b> <p/> "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. . . . The spreads aren't as jam-packed as a typical <i>Where's Waldo </i>panorama, allowing for younger readers to spot characters and objects with ease."<b><i>--Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/> "With <i>My Big Wimmelbooks</i>, kids experience their self-efficacy as something special, which makes them proud and, in turn, activates new 'learning.' The inner motivation that comes with their desire to satisfy their curiosity is the ultimate source of ongoing learning."<b>--Dr. Kristina Unterweger, </b>educational psychologist<br>
