This engaging wimmelbook invites young readers to explore the world of diggers, fostering literacy through vibrant illustrations and interactive storytelling.
This engaging book serves as an ideal introduction to literacy for young readers, particularly those fascinated by construction equipment. With vibrant illustrations showcasing a bustling world of diggers and construction workers, children aged 2 to 5 can immerse themselves in a hands-on learning experience. The nearly wordless format encourages little ones to become storytellers, exploring the scenes and identifying various elements within the illustrations.
As they navigate through the colorful pages, children will enjoy pointing out the busy diggers at work, as well as the hardworking crew involved in tearing down houses and moving scrap. The interactive nature of this seek-and-find adventure stimulates curiosity and imagination, allowing kids to engage with the story in their own unique way. The book also introduces recurring star characters, adding an element of continuity and encouraging older kids to create their own narratives around these familiar figures.
In a delightful first for the series, this wimmelbook includes illustrated diagrams that help curious minds learn about the different parts of diggers, such as the bucket, cab, and engine. This thoughtful addition not only enhances the educational value of the book but also adds to the fun, making it a perfect choice for hours of imaginative play and exploration.
"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
"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 Wimmelbook, 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
