This book was a favorite of my daughter even at the age of three months. She loves to shake it and turn the pages. The drawings are adorable and the text is simple, but good. Cymbals really do go "clish classh" and a double bass does sounds like "dum de dum." My child is delighted by the sound effects.

3.0 out of 5 stars Maisy and the Gang Ply Their Musical Talents, March 16, 2004

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 Maisy noise book which means that if you shake it you hear, in this case, musical noises. My two-year old can't seem to get enough of it. Each section of the book features Maisy and one of her friends playing a different musical instrument. As with all Maisy books, the toddler set loves them.
