Lucy Cousins (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 10, 2009 | Age Level: 3 and up | Grade Level: P and up | Series: Maisy

Let’s get cooking! Step into Maisy’s kitchen for a pull-the-tab, lift-the-flap adventure that has all the right ingredients for a fun introduction to science.

Maisy is donning an apron, washing her hands, opening the cupboard — it can only mean that she’s ready to make a cake! While learning about weighing and measuring, adding and mixing, baking and decorating, preschoolers will be amused by the many interactive elements, from Maisy’s methodical mixing to the rising of the cake to Charley’s toothy jaws chomping down on the fi nal treat.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun! with a slightly scary end, April 19, 2010

This review is from: Maisy Bakes a Cake: A Maisy First Science Book (Hardcover)

Muy daughter (20 months) loves all the action in this book. I like the idea that narrating everyday actions can make them fun! Only problem: the crocodile Charlie in the last page actually eats a slice of the cake, but it took a while to convince my daughter he was not trying to eat Maisy instead! She was really scared. The huge toothed mouth of the crocodile is really a bit too scary for small kids. I had to reach out for the other books of Maisy's stories we own to show that the crocodile is actually a friend of Maisy, and she finally got convinced. She now loves the book and wants to read it again and again.
