All the lift-the-flap Maisy books are great. My daughter has been enjoying them since she was 8 months (she is now 18 months). Cute, vivid pictures with nice thick cardboard flaps. The Maisy series flap books are the best of their kind.

My 1-1/2 yr old toddler likes this book very much! The words are entertaining and so are the illustrations. Highly recommended.

My two year old son loves the Maisy books and so do I - the illustrations are so appealling! He really enjoys this book. The premise is very simple - does Maisy live in the stable? no, the horses do etc - but it lends itself to racuous shouts of "no" as he lifts the flap on each page, which is a lot of fun. It's also very robust, which I appreciate. So far none of the flaps have been torn off. My only criticism is that it's very short. I feel a bit cheated by that. If you're after one fun flap book, I would recommend "Where's Spot" ahead of Maisy.

My 13 months old girl loves this book. Personally, I would like to see some repetitive phrases like "No, not here" on the flaps right before they introduce the sound of the animals so that it will reinforce "Yes/No" concept as well.

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 lift the flap book in which the childen are lifting flaps trying to figure out where Maisy lives. Naturally, we don't find out untilt he end of the book (hey, it would ruin the plot to reveal earlier, right?). One caution, the kids might get a little aggressive with the flaps and tear a few, resulting in the purchase of a new lift the flap book.

Our 7 month old simply loves this book. She loves to lift the flaps in search of Maisy's home. Currently, it is the only one we have from the series by Lucy Cousins, but not for long! It's a hit at reading time!!

Ayla, my 16 month old grand-daughter, just loves this book. She also loved the Karen Katz books, too, as she is into lifting the flap books.

I bought this book and several others in the series for my 1 year old twins and 2 1/2 year old. Since my children were very small, just about crawling, they were drawn to the Maisey books, perhaps by the bright, primary colors and simple shapes. They all fight over the Maisey books and they spend hours just picking up the books and playing with the flaps. It's so great to see them sitting and 'looking' at the books. The books have held up to little fingers pulling and picking at the flaps. Would give these books as gifts to friends expecting a baby or small children.

My 15-month old son loves this Maisy book. We've never read any of the other Maisy books, and got this one only because it's a lift-the-flap book and he loves those. My only complaint is that the book is kinda short, but my son doesn't mind-- we just read it over and over again! It's a nice simple story with very cute illustrations.

My son is four months old and Maisy books are already his favorite. He loves the colorful pictures, simple texts and he is very curious about what's hiding under the flaps.
