My Big Wimmelbook® - Fire Trucks!

Filled to the brim with characters, Wimmelbooks turn reading into a game of find-and-seek as children watch a story unfold before them.
In these one-of-a-kind picture books, every page is bursting with life—and tons to discover! Children as young as two have a blast pointing out recognisable 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.
Quick—there's no time to waste! Hop aboard a fire truck and follow along from the station to a forest fire to a festival as brave firefighters and other first responders go about their day in My Big Wimmelbook-Fire Trucks!
About Wimmelbooks
Wimmelbooks originated in Germany decades ago and have become a worldwide sensation with children (and adults!) everywhere. My Big Wimmelbooks is the first-ever Wimmelbook series to feature Wimmelbooks in English. They've been praised as "lively... and abounding with humor and detail" (WSJ), likely to "make any parent's heart sing." (NYT)
