My Big Wimmelbook: Cars and Things that Go

Stefan Lohr. The Experiment, $12.95 (16p) ISBN 978-1-61519-498-8

This oversize board book, part of a series of seek-and-find titles first published in Germany, features six busy scenes. 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. Further pages reveal an urban transportation hub with a subway station, bus line, and monorail; a suburban town center; a “Wimmeltown Speedway” with enthusiastic race car fans; two theme parks; and a seaport. 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. Available simultaneously: Animals Around the World, On the Farm, and At the Construction Site. Ages 2–5. [em](Sept.) Clarification: The series originated in Germany but has been revised for a U.S. audience. [/em]
