4.0 out of 5 stars a bright and cheerful colours book for toddlers, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Maisy's Colors large board book (Board book)

As always Maisy is a cute character and the book is lovely and bright. The pictures in this book are more complex than some 'learn your colours' books but the fact that the colour mentioned is not necessarily immediately obvious is a strength - it takes learning colours to the next level. Clara, my 3 year old niece, enjoys finding the black spots or the pink whiskers. She will also gratuitously point out that, although the train is green, it has red lines and black wheels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really appeals to my toddler!, September 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Maisy's Colors large board book (Board book)

I find the child-like illustrations rather crude but my 18-month old really loves this book! The larger illustrations and "big" board construction make this one of his favorites. The simple visuals make learning a few words at a time easy. He also loves the Counting with Maisy book as well. I am ordering a few more today.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little girl mouse- simple, yet gripping, May 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Maisy's Colors large board book (Board book)

Each of the books in Lucy Cousins's Maisy series manages to be simple and colorful, while still remaining interesting to young children. Children identify with the simple tasks Maisy performs, and adults can enjoy the simplicity of childood. I am an even bigger Maisy fan than my brother and sister!
