Hop right into bright spring scenes from Easter feasts to egg hunt surprises in this charming wimmelbook packed with Easter fun to find and explore. The My Big Wimmelbooks® series is an effortless introduction to literacy that lets beginning readers ages 2 to 5 be the storyteller—with hours of seek-and-find, hands-on learning.
Spring is upon us and it’s almost time to go searching for your Easter basket. But until then, there is much to do. The Easter bunnies need to color all the eggs, make the chocolate bunnies, and craft little gifts to fill each basket. On each page, you’ll find clues about the characters and search tasks to guide you in discovering all the preparations. Children as young as age 2 have a blast pointing out recognizable things—a brightly-painted egg, a bunny’s cotton ball tail, an Easter basket full of goodies—while older kids can follow the story’s progression through all kinds of bustling Easter 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. On the very first spread, children are introduced to the unique locations and characters that come to life on the pages that follow, and then 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.
My Big Wimmelbook®—Happy Easter overflows with seasonal spirit, helping kids sharpen their observation skills while delighting in every charming detail. Whether they’re spotting cheerful chicks and colorful spring flowers or exploring a bunny family’s treetop abode, young readers will love discovering all the Easter magic hiding in this lively world—and embarking on something of an Easter egg hunt themselves.
About Wimmelbooks
Wimmelbooks originated in Germany decades ago and have become a sensation with children (and adults!) worldwide. My Big Wimmelbooks is the first-ever English-language wimmelbook series. Its books have been praised as “lively . . . and abounding with humor and detail” (WSJ) and likely to “make any parent’s heart sing” (NYT).
“The large board books in the My Big Wimmelbook 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.”—The Wall Street Journal
“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 My Big Wimmelbook in front of her. . . . Picture Richard Scarryesque, diorama-like spreads with a hint of Where’s Waldo junior detective. The combination should encourage long contemplative sit-downs that will make any parent’s heart sing.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Wimmelbooks offer limitless engagement for little kids—think updated, culturally relevant versions of Where’s Waldo.”—Fanny Singer and Greta Caruso, The Green Spoon
“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 Where’s Waldo panorama, allowing for younger readers to spot characters and objects with ease.”—Publishers Weekly
“With My Big Wimmelbooks, 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.”—Dr. Kristina Unterweger, educational psychologist
