I've been reading to my son since he was first born, and he is now 5 1/2 months old. Out of all the books I've bought for him, he by far loves his Maisy books!! His eyes light up at the pictures, and he starts babbling (talking) to the book! My husband and I love reading them to him because the stories are so cute and easy to read. Thank god for because I haven't been able to find all of the books anywhere else. This book in particular is a life saver, because at night he often gets a little fussy and I read this to him before bedtime--it helps to calm him down!
If you have a reluctant toddler, Lucy Cousins' Maisy can help reinforce bedtime rituals and good habits. Maisy washes up, uses the potty and puts on pajamas. She even reads in bed - just like Mommy and Daddy read their child. Bright, clear pictures and soothing text make this our daughter's favorite go-to-sleep book.
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 great to read at bedtime, esspecially if you can convince your child to pretend they are Maisy going to sleep. Maisy's preparing for bed and her preparations include a trip to the potty. The first time you see that page, it's actually kind of funny. This is one of my daughters' favorite Maisy books.
I'm not a fan of thee Maisey books, there's just not much substance to them and I personally don't like the illustrations. My 2.5 yr old LOVES them though. And she's the one whose opinion matters, and she's give it 5 stars!
I used to watch the show when it was on Nickjr ages ago. I was an older child when I did watch the show. Now being a young adult with kids of my own I can say this is a purchase well made. The book is very easy to read and for any toddler to understand, a perfect bed time story.
The book was in poor condition, but I am leaving 5 stars because when I contacted the seller they replied immediately and gave a full refund. The story itself is awesome! Perfect for a toddler who is getting ready to potty train or in the process of. It shows Maisy getting in bed and then getting back out again because she forgot to use the potty! lol
My little guy loves this bedtime story, the illustrations are great, vivid colors, my son loves Maisy and call the character by her name, he even tries to tell me the story his own way sometimes. It was love at first sight for him!!!! I'm buying more Maisy's book for sure....
These books are FANTASTIC! My two and a half yr old has been enjoying this series since DAY ONE! No matter what maisy book, she loves it. This one is all about getting ready for bed, brushing teeth, using the potty and a special little teddy bear. These books rule. We've even bought them in italian versions because they are so appealing. The illustrations are perfectly suited to toddlers, bright, simple and cheerful!(I Love Them TOO! ) You can't go wrong with maisy!
