My Big Wimmelbook - At the Airport takes kids on a ride through the sky as they go through check-in, security, boarding, and, of course, getting airborne-with plenty of interesting things happening along the way. 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. 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.

"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 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*
