My Big Wimmelbook®? My First 100 Words

Mia and Elias are off on everyday adventures—getting ready in the morning, heading to preschool, shopping, playing, and more! Along the way, they’re learning new words everywhere they go. 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.

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 through all kinds of bustling 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. First, they’re introduced to a unique cast of characters who are hidden in plain sight on the pages that follow. As children 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. My Big Wimmelbook®—My First 100 Words is filled with colorful scenes and familiar objects—from the playground with its slides and swings to the zoo and all the animals. As your little one follows Mia and Elias throughout their day, they will soon be able to recognize and say lots of new words.
