Maisy basks in the comforts of bedtime in a gentle story sure to lull any child to sleep.

The moon rises.
The stars begin to shine.
The world goes to sleep.

Maisy and her friends have had a long day of play, and now the sun is setting, making pretty colors in the sky. Soon it's time for the sleepy mouse to sing and read to Panda and snuggle in her cozy bed. What better way for little readers to end their day than with a "sweet dreams" from Maisy?

5.0 out of 5 stars ours lights up and we love it!, August 22, 2007

This review is from: Sweet Dreams, Maisy (Hardcover)

We ordered this book from Amazon.co.uk and had no problems. When you push the last page in the right spot (which I admit wasn't totally obvious the first time) it lights up 2 stars and the crescent moon in Maisy's bedroom window. Our one year old boy loves it and always wants to race to the last page to see them light up.

3.0 out of 5 stars I was disappointed by the lack of light, too., August 21, 2006

By 

Sarah (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sweet Dreams, Maisy (Hardcover)

Like the other reviewer, I was looking forward to the stars lighting up in this book, and was disappointed to find that feature missing from the book I received. I had to come back to the product page to see if I had misunderstood the description, and now I find that the only mention of the book lighting up is on the cover photo, so disregard that photo. The book is otherwise beautiful, with vivid, gorgeous colors, and I would never have been disappointed had I not had the misunderstanding about the light effect. My daughter loves all things Maisy, so this is a hit with her, and like the other reviewer mentioned, she doesn't know that anything is missing, so she would probably give it five stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sweet books, but where's the Night Light?, July 19, 2006

This review is from: Sweet Dreams, Maisy (Hardcover)

Maisy watches the sunset and gets ready for bed. It's a very sweet book with pretty sunset backgrounds. However the night light advertised on the front of the cover is missing. We complained to Amazon and they sent a replacement, which also did not have the night light feature. Too bad, I'm sure my kids would've loved a book that lights up! But they don't know it was supposed to have a light and enjoy it anyway. I guess we parents are the only disappointed ones.
