Summary: 4 1/2 * Going Mobile
Review: "Maisie [the mouse] is driving her bus today. Who will be waiting at Bust Stop Number 1?" That's the beginning of this delightful tale for very small fry. The pictures are bright and uncluttered, and the book features some elementary counting. There's an element of surprise as Maisy picks up passengers at bus stops 1 through 5: Will there be room for Eddie the elephant? For toddlers and younger, a fun and colorful introduction to reading.

Summary: Maisy the Bus Driver
Review: If you are the parent of a young child, you probably know who Maisy is. She's a mouse with a duck, a squirrel, an elephant, and a crocodile for friends. Why the crocodile isn't trying to eat the others is beyond me, but that's life in Maisy's world.Both of my daughters love the Maisy books; there's something about their simple stories and colorful pictures that even appeals to adults. The books are short and easy to read. But, the stories are never obnoxiously simplistic, like so many other books for small children. Maisy's working today driving the bus. Who'll be waiting to board at each stop? And will Eddie the Elephant manage to fit on the bus?

Summary: Our family loves Maisy
Review: My two year old is a Maisy (and a bus) fan, but we all enjoyed this book. Today Maisy is a bus driver and she visits bus stops numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4 collecting her friends. Then they all get off at bus stop number 5. It's a good introduction to counting numbers without the confusion of also associating them with objects. There's not much to the story but it doesn't grate on me and it has a little more purpose than some of the other Maisy storylines. My son enjoys saying "brrm brrm" and "bye bye" at the appropriate places. And like all the Maisy books, the illustrations are bright and simple.

Summary: Great book for babies
Review: This book is so boring it was a chore for me to read it, even though it is only about 100 words. The book is about Maisy picking up other animals on her bus route and then depositing them at the last stop. There is no rhythm or cadence to the text, and the illustrations are flat and dull. There is no moral, plot, or anything in it to make it an engaging read for a child of any age. There are better books out there.
