Maisy's Best Friends

Summary: Who Will Turn Out to be Maisy's Best Pal?
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.

This is a Maisy board book (oversized) which means it is a lot harder for your children to tear up. A drawback of many of the board books is they are extremely short. That hasn't been a problem with this book and my children. I think perhaps the larger size of the book enhances the graphics and colors in the eyes of children. Anyway, the big mystery is, who is Maisy's best friend? You'll have to read it to find out; I try to never give away important plot points.

Summary: Short but sweet
Review: My toddler loves Maisy, and so do I!

This is an super-sized boardbook with illustrations that my son loves. For example, he likes to point out the bird in the sky or the juice bottles in the grocery store, etc.

This book is pretty short (only eight pages), but very sweet. It teaches the idea that each of our friends is special for one reason or another -- they can ALL be our best friends.

Recommended!
