Both my kids love Maisy! They are cute videos, but I am not sure why they are so enthralled by it (although I find myself singing "Panda made a big mistake. Panda ate a chocolate cake. Now he has a tummy ache. Poor, poor Panda.").

My 21 month old son *loves* Maisy. The only difficult part of this video comes when the Elephant, Eddy, skins his knee. That upset my son for a long time - he would point to his wrist and say "Oh! Oh!" and looked distressed... but it gave him a way to communicate when he hurt himself, and needed a kiss to make it better.

I am convinced that Maisy is an incarnation of Coyote, the trickster-god. All her friends have problems (get scared, get a boo-boo, lose thier ribbons, etc.) - but Maisy never so much as musses a whisker.

My 2 year old loves this video. The stories all deal with friendship- what friends do together, how friends help one another, etc. The songs are cute and catchy, and are something even mom and dad can listen to over and over and over. A great addition to our video collection.

Beautiful colors. Simple, bright animation with big shapes and clear sounds. Characters are expressive, but nonverbal. Narrator's voice is calming and affectionate. Fosters discussion on topics such as sharing, helping and cleaning up. Children were enthralled and they laughed a lot. "I'd like to watch it over and over everyday." "It made me want to read Maisy's books." "Maisy helped the elephant with his ouchee." "They hold hands and play ring-around-the-rosy just like me and my friends do." Best for ages 2 to 5.

My daughter will be 3 in June and she watches this move and other Maisy movies every night and day. She also wants every thing that has Maisy on it. Her favorite thing is her Maisy doll. Thanks to who ever invented Maisy. WAY TO GO

My daughter (age 2.5) loves this and all the other Maisy videos better than any others.
