Synopsis

Look-and-find books for young readers, chock full of vibrant illustrations that tell stories without words!

Welcome to Wimmelworld--a land of few words, yet endless entertainment! In these one-of-a-kind picture books, every spread is a new panorama teeming with life. Children as young as two will delight in seeking out familiar things--a blue tricycle, a hungry dog, a piggyback ride. And as kids grow up, Wimmelbooks grow with them! The first page of each book introduces a unique cast of characters who are hidden in plain sight on the pages that follow. As older children begin to seek them out, each character's storyline unfolds right before their eyes: For example, in On the Farm, whether he's transporting a pig or showing it off at a fair, Grandpa Earl is determined to use his old tractor no matter what!

Unlike most look-and-find books, Wimmelbooks are instruction-free, inviting kids to make their own way through the busy Wimmelworld, and to craft their own stories. As kids go from page to page, they interpret the scenes and, with or without your help, create stories they think fit. Wimmelbooks offer hours upon hours of fun--and an effortless introduction to literacy to boot.

From the stable to the wheat field to the rodeo, in My Big Wimmelbook--On the Farm, follow each character around their day on Wimmelfarm--whether watching Jessie the handywoman fix one thing after another or hoping Cousin Grady will survive his next blunder!

Media Reviews
Start Your Farm is an eminently readable, entertaining, and important book for new farmers. The authors don't hold back on the tough parts of farming. They coach the reader on how to overcome obstacles and reap the financial and emotional rewards on the other side. I recommend this book to anyone looking to make the brave leap into a farm career.
--Lindsey Lusher Shute, co-founder of the National Young Farmers Coalition

This book is full of wisdom, wit, and practical advice from two of the most respected figures in agriculture today. Anyone interested in farming for a career should pick up a copy. There is no career more rewarding than farming, and this book eases the burden for those starting out.
--Ben Hartman, author of The Lean Farm and The Lean Farm Guide to Growing Vegetables

A must-read for anyone who feels called to be a farmer. Start Your Farm is the most insightful, honest, challenging, and yet joyful and hopeful book I have read for would-be farmers. Prichard's and Polishuk's decades-long experiences in striving to farm sustainably also provide valuable insights into what it will take to farm successfully in the twenty-first century. Read this book and learn from two truly professional farmers.
--John Ikerd, Professor Emeritus of Agricultural Economics, University of Missouri

If you have romantic Instagram ideas about living off the land, you need to read this book. Jam-packed with practical advice and real-life vignettes, Start Your Farm gives you the down and dirty--the financial, emotional, and physical aspects of running a working farm. But this gritty realism is perfectly balanced with hope and encouragement. Pritchard and Polishuk not only talk the talk, but walk the walk, and they will guide you through the intricacies of starting a farm of your own. If you have what it takes, that is!
--Lisa Steele, author of Fresh Eggs Daily

If you dream of farming, Start Your Farm provides proven practical advice, delivered with a sense of humility and humor. It's as much a 'why' as a 'how-to' book, separating it from the plethora of guides for beginning farmers. Clear, concise, and highly useful, this book will help you make smarter decisions and fewer mistakes. I wish I had access to this kind of wisdom when I started farming forty-eight years ago. Get out there and farm, and carry this valuable info with you!
