The book was too basic and I'm wondering why it was on my Kindergartener's reading list. I didn't like the story and, more importantly, my son was easily bored by the book.

"Maisy Goes Camping" finds Maisy and her friends Cyril, Talluluah, Charley and Eddy going on a camping trip. Maisy is all packed and ready to go and they've found the perfect place to camp. Things become amusing, however, when the situation in the tent gets rather cramped, thanks to Eddy's large size.

This is a simple, fun story. The illustrations in the Maisy books feature bright, simple patches of color inside large, dark lines. The text and story content are nice for bedtime.

This book is definitely for toddlers with an advanced sense of humor. It also incorporates friendship, counting, differences, and compromise. The words and ideas are very simple but each page is an opportunity to discuss further with your child. Books are to be discussed especially with preschoolers. My 3 yr old loves to count as the friends enter the tent. She belly laughs as big Eddie squeezes in the tent with all the friends. Then we talk about how nice all of the friends were to let Eddie sleep in the tent while they sleep under the stars. Its a fantastic book!

I was disappointed with this story. My daughter loves Maisy books especially Maisy goes to Playschool. This was a story that didn't really explain camping or describe the fun details involved in a camping trip.

This is probably the 10th Maisy book I've bought my granddaughters and
they love everyone of them. The pictures in this book are great and we
like the part where they include all of Maisy's friends. To me the paperback books are the best and easier for our 2 year old to handle.

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK TO INTRODUCE THE IDEA OF CAMPING TO CHILDREN AND IT IS NOT TOO LONG! THE CHILDREN ENJOYED FOLLOWING MAISY'S ADVENTURES AND THE PICTURES ARE GREAT ALSO.
