In these one-of-a-kind picture 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. My Big Wimmelbook All Aboard the Train! takes kids on a few fun train rides as a busy cast of characters go on journeys from Wimmeltown Train Station to their final destinations. From boarding the crowded platform to wandering through the aisles upon aisles of train cars, watching the pretty scenery, and more ? plenty of interesting things are happening along the way. All aboard!ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Stefan Lohr is a book designer and illustrator based in Ravensburg, Germany.

"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
