The weather wasn't the best for doing things outside so Maisy decided to gather up her friends and they were "going to the museum." They were all excited when they saw the bones of a T. Rex and one of her fossilized eggs. Their eyes became wide and their expressions showed their delight. When they got to the section with things to ride in Charley got excited and looked "at the vintage car . . . and the old bicycle . . . and the double decker bus!" They were all delighted to look at a biplane, a satellite and a rocket. Maisy's imagination and excitement went wild when she saw the rocket.Tallulah especially enjoyed the vintage toy section. Look at that dollhouse! `Maisy and Charley marveled at the brightly colored birds in the animal exhibit." The museum was the perfect activity for a rainy day. There were bugs and a "saber-toothed cat" (Cyril's new friend). Eddie enjoyed looking at the "woolly mammoth." They were able to see and do all kinds of things at the museum from drawing, playing with puppets to having a nice lunch in the museum café. It was such a fun day. What do you like to do on a rainy day?This is a great book to read aloud to your preschooler or one an emergent reader can work on with a bit of help. Before long, you can be guaranteed your little someone will have this book memorized and will be "reading" it to you! The art work is bright and very appealing. If you've read any others in the Maisy series, you certainly won't be disappointed with this one!
I bought this book along with another based on reading reviews and i was not disappointed. Both my girls love Maisy. It's a very simple to read book and i find it helps them to want to spell words and attempt reading as well.
My son loves these series of books. This softbound version is perfect. The colors are great. This is a fun little story.
My 2 year old daughter loves Maisy and all her friends. This is a good one, not our favorite, but really good. I like that the book presents new ideas and subjects in a simple manner, easy for 2 year olds to follow. Still, there are some big words and a few concepts, like "a fossilized dinosaur egg" that is hard to explain to a 2 year old. But it is good for vocabulary exposure and always a fun read with Maisy and friends!
