Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Another big, lift-the-flap board book starring the popular mouse. In this offering, the multitalented protagonist drives a bus, fire engine, and tractor; flies a plane; and ends the story as a train engineer. Bold, primary-color illustrations in the familiar "Maisy" style and multiple sturdy flaps appear on each spread. Some flaps hold more surprise than others, but fans of the series will find all of them entertaining.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maisy Demonstrates Her Driving Talents Again, March 9, 2004

This review is from: Go, Maisy, Go! (Board 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 a lift the flap book, always a winner with the preschool set who love to keep lifting those flaps again and again to see what is underneath. Maisy is demonstrating her varied talents as she drives planes, trains, and automobiles (among other machines). My two-year old loves this book. Highly recommended for ages two-to-four, as are nearly any Maisy book.
