Wimmelbooks Set of 4

Loosely translated as a book of abundance, Wimmelbooks are one-of-a-kind oversized board books. They provide endless opportunities for curious kids to discover, learn, and increase vocabulary.


Hugely popular in Germany and worldwide, here’s how Wimmelbooks work: At the beginning of each Wimmelbook, children are introduced to a cast of about a dozen characters such as Molly the mechanic, Sergio the boss, or Rusty the dog. As your child flips through the book, he will be looking for those characters hidden in plain sight among the hustle and bustle of their Wimmelworld. Each character has a different storyline that unfolds from page to page as he moves through the depicted scenes.


Preschoolers will love finding items and actions already familiar, like balloons, strollers, and pigs splashing in a mud puddle. They will engage with the Wimmelbooks as they can track and find the characters in each new display. 


With practice, they will then be able to fabricate a storyline that fits the various scenes. Plus, there is so much going on in each spread that there is always one more story that can be told or a situation speculated on. For instance, why is there a submarine in the harbor, and what do you do when a bear threatens your camp?


Wimmelbooks give parents a rich opportunity to ask questions, discover what their child knows, and encourage them to add depth to their creative narrative. When we previewed Wimmelbooks with our three-year-old twins, the books provided hours of discussion about topics that had never occurred to us. 


Develop your child’s cognitive skills of collecting clues, exploring, and telling stories with the Wimmelbooks.

Fun but a lot going on

These are fun little books but maybe a little too much to look at for my kids

Fun but a bit much

So my almost 3 year old genuinely likes these books. They are well made and high quality, the illustrations are beautiful and a pleasure to look at.

However, it's all a bit chaotic for my son who gets easily overwhelmed and distracted. He has fun, but he forgets what he's looking for. Quite frankly, so do I, having to go back to the first page to remember the people and characters we are trying to find on each page. I wish the books had a panel showing who and what we are supposed to be looking for on each page so we didn't have to keep going back to the beginning of the book.

For preschoolers with a good attention span and memory these are wonderful additions to the kit. For people who have chaotic brains like me and my son they are still lots of fun but a bit tricky to get much out of.

Chaotic

While I love the set up of the book, it just is a bit too chaotic in the implementation. It is a bit too much happening on each page. Which causes my daughter to feel overwhelmed. It is the same with the Big Book of Things to Spot. Both books cause her to start crying when I take them out. I' am just going to have to put them away for a few months and hopefully try again at a later time.

great books

We love these books and even got the Christmas one on another website. It's great to make up stories as to why something is going on and to hear our little one's perspective of what may have happened. The balloons are fun to find too!

Definitely a favorite

I was apprehensive about getting this, but since I got the curriculum bundle I got the books. I LOVE them!! My son will look at them for at least 30 minutes a day. It has sparked so much conversation and language development.
