5.0 out of 5 stars Great toddler book, August 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Maisy Goes Shopping (Hardcover)

In this book Maisy and Charley go grocery shopping. My two year old loves grocery shopping and is fascinated by the book. We read it over and over and over. Actually it is great for me too, because I use it to talk about what kind of foods we can buy at the grocery store. Maisy and Charley buy apples, bananas, yogurt, bread etc... It is a good opportunity to get in a plug for nutritious foods.

3.0 out of 5 stars Maisy at the Grocery Store, January 13, 2004

This review is from: Maisy Goes Shopping (Paperback)

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.

Maisy visits Charlie only to find his cupboards are bare, so its off to the grocery store. For reasons known only to them, my children aren't real wild about this Maisy book. Still, like all Maisy books, they liked it the first time around; maybe we've just read this one too many times.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 2 year old niece LOVES this book!, December 5, 2006

By 

M. R. "me" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maisy Goes Shopping (Paperback)

This is my niece's favorite book even though she does not watch the television show. She adores the pictures. I have so much fun reading this to her -- we talk about the pictures together: I show her the picture of Charlie's empty fridge and she tells me what foods are in her fridge at home. We name the types of juices that Charlie is buying based on the pictures. She points out the bananas in the grocery cart, etc. She asks for this to be read to her over and over. Fortunately, it is not annoying to read this particular book to her. I recommend this to anyone who wants their children to learn to love reading and have fun with books.
