Summary: A Maisy Board Book That's Not Quite an Attention Getter
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 which means it is a lot harder for your children to tear up. But a draw back of many of the board books is they are extremely short. The first few times we read this, my daughters like it. But now, when I ask them which books they want to read, they always ignore this one. I suspect children 18 months and younger might find it more appealing than a sophisticated two-year old and four-year old do (hopefully you realize the "sophisticated" statement was a joke).

Summary: Great for little boys who like vehicles and their noises
Review: My 17-month-old boy has a limited attention span for books (so much different than my little girl was at this age!). Anyway, he listens to this short, simple Maisy story very attentively, especially if you are animated in making all the different vehicle noises.

Summary: Vroom! Vroom!
Review: My little boy has loved this book since he was about 9 months old. He loves all the sounds--toot, chug, vroom and brmmm. On the last page, it says "Bye Bye everyone," and he points at Maisy and waves. We have to read it over and over. Sometimes he gets so excited, he skips right to the "bye bye" part!
