Maisy Makes Lemonade [Paperback]

Lucy Cousins (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up | Grade Level: P and up | Series: Maisy

MMMMM. In MAISY MAKES LEMONADE, it’s a hot day, and Maisy is having a nice cold drink. Eddie is hot, too, but it takes a lot of lemonade to satisfy this thirsty friend. Not to worry - Maisy goes out to the garden and, with a boost from Eddie, picks some fresh lemons. Together they stir in some water and sugar, and there! A pitcher of refreshing lemonade. Now she just needs to go get some cups - but what is that slurping noise? Good thing they made enough for an elephant!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Simple stories for fans of the busy mouse. In the first book, Maisy's friend Charley helps her tidy up her house and is rewarded with a cupcake, while in the second, Maisy learns just how much is needed to quench the thirst of an elephant. In both titles the bright, colorful illustrations face a page of large-print text. Delightful books that will help reinforce the concepts of helping and sharing.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's hot, Eddie's drank all the lemoande, what will Maisy do, January 27, 2004

This review is from: Maisy Makes Lemonade (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Maisy Mouse) (School & Library Binding)

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's enjoying a cool drink when Eddie decides to slurp it all up. What will Maisy and Eddie do? I guess I've read enough of these to my children that I'm developing favorites. This is one I always seem to enjoy reading to the kids and, as usual, they love it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like all maisy books, great for the little kids., May 16, 2011
