Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Yawn! It's bedtime for Maisy, which means tooth-brushing, pajamas, a book, and her favorite stuffed animal. Since this square, padded cloth book has no sharp edges, youngsters can curl up with it and count z's in peace. The wordless format and endearing Maisy images will no doubt inspire imaginative, interactive storytelling... until eyes close sleepily for the night! Nontoxic, hand-washable in cool water. (Baby to preschool)

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute cloth book for baby, May 29, 2004

This review is from: Bedtime, Maisy! (Hardcover)

Maisy is a favorite in our house; my toddler loves to see the "story" unfold, no words to read, just cute drawings of Maisy the Mouse in various stages of getting ready for bedtime. We make up our own story as we turn each page, each time we can change the details a bit so make for a fun new story each time. An added bonus is that our newborn also enjoys the book, looking brilliantly at the colors of each drawing, so it's fun for both youngsters. We love that our kids can chew these pages without doing damage to the book! Also great to toss in the car for distrations on short trips.

This review is from: Bedtime, Maisy! (Paperback)

Adorable cloth book for babies. Lost a star because it is hand-washable only. I put ours in the laundry and it came out as a unsalvageable, primary colored wad. I just don't think it would have been that hard to construct this book so that it could withstand a regular washing -- so much more realistic given its audience.
