A busy picture search built around playful mistakes

Every spread invites children to notice what is out of place in a topsy-turvy world, from an octopus in a bathtub to a square soccer ball. The book uses the Wimmelbook format: a recurring cast appears across bustling scenes, and children can follow the characters while inventing their own explanations for what they see. With little instruction needed, the activity can shift between spotting details, naming familiar objects, and making up stories. Its visual puzzles give the search a clear focus while leaving room for children to interpret the scenes in their own way.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children who enjoy searching crowded illustrations for details
  • Families seeking a shared picture-book activity that encourages observation and storytelling
  • Children who like visual humor and spotting things that seem out of place

Book overview

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 through all kinds of bustling scenes.

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, they're introduced to a unique cast of characters who are hidden in plain sight on the pages that follow. As children 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(R)--Oops! What's Wrong Here? is packed with visual humor and gentle absurdity, helping kids sharpen their observation skills while giggling at every turn. Whether they're spotting the octopus in the bathtub, the square soccer ball, or the baby pushing the parent, young readers will love discovering the "mistakes" in this topsy-turvy world.
