Doctor Maisy (Paperback)

by Lucy Cousins (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-In Doctor Maisy, the little mouse and Nurse Tallulah take care of a sick Panda, "Oh, no. Panda has a fever." When Maisy and Tallulah bump into one another, the nurse has to bandage the doctor's sore nose. In Morning on the Farm, Maisy milks the cow, "Squish squish, squirt squirt"; feeds the pigs and chickens; and then has her own breakfast. Toddlers will be attracted by Cousins's bright, friendly illustrations and simple texts. These two titles are sure to be popular with Maisy fans everywhere.

From Booklist
Reviewed with Lucy Cousins' Maisy's Morning on the Farm.

Ages 2-4. Maisy, the friendly little rodent now seen on TV, stars in two little stories. Kids will these enjoy the simple, though slight tales and the brilliantly colored illustrations. In Doctor, Maisy dons a white coat and ministers to Panda with stethoscope and thermometer. Morning shows Maisy at work on the farm: driving a tractor; feeding the chickens, pigs, and sheep; and milking the cow. According to copyright information, the books are based on a Maisy audio-visual series, and the gouache paintings are "illustrated in the style of Lucy Cousins." The derivation of books won't matter to little ones, though. They'll simply enjoy revisiting an old friend. Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars Doctor Maisy, January 10, 2002

By A Customer

If your child loves Maisy books as much as mine does, definitely add this one to your collection! Not only are the pictures colorful and inviting, but it also makes going to the doctor seem fun and exciting! Plus, it's always great to see Maisy and her friends playing different roles and doing fun things! Each page brings delight to my child's eyes!

My 2-year-old daughter loves Maisy books, and this one is another great hit with her. She is now not afraid of the doctor after reading this book! Very cute.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two year old's favorite!, December 30, 2008

By	Jennifer E. Burch "unconditional" (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After checking this book out from the library again and again, we bought our own copy for Christmas. This is just the kind of thing very young children love - bright colors, simple storyline, cute characters. My daughter laughs every time at Maisy getting a bandage on her nose. Such a sweet little book.
