Rating: Summary: KIds Love These Lift the Flap Books Review: 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 in search of Maisy. They find all of her friends before finally locating Maisy. That sneaky little mouse; hiding at the end of the book. 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.
Rating: Summary: We love this book Review: My 1 year old son just got two Maisy books for his birthday. This book was one of them. It is amazing to see how much he loves this book. He brings it to us and makes us read it over and over and loves to lift the flaps. This has made bedtime stories much easier (since he is never still).
Rating: Summary: Fun, durable book Review: My 14-month-old son instantly loved this book when he got it for his first birthday. He loves lifting the flaps himself (which are holding up admirably under the stress of a *lot* of repeat readings), and he can turn the thick board pages himself easily. We can also talk about the names of the different animals portrayed, and what sounds they make- I like that this book leaves a lot of room for editorializing and additional information from mom and dad. I think when he's older he'll enjoy the reward of finding Maisy at the end, too.
Rating: Summary: Great for toddlers Review: My 16 month old daughter loves this book and all the Maisy flap books. She enjoys looking for Maisy and her friends in different places - especially places on a farm. The stories are basic enough to keep her interest, and the flaps are large enough for her little hands to lift. Even though she has a limited vocabulary, "Maisy" is one of her words!

Rating: Summary: Can't Put it Down Review: My 16 month old son was not interested in sitting long enough for me to read him a book -- until this one. Not that it is lengthly, but he wants to repeat it indefinitely and finds it HILARIOUS. Now he's bringing me books all day, but this is his favorite. "Is Maisy in the boat?" I ask. "Naw!" he says, and laughs. The only problem is how to separate him from it.
Rating: Summary: She loves it! Review: My 5 month old simply loves this books. She gets excited whenever we bring it out to read. It's almost like she's anticipating to see what's behind the flip cover.
Rating: Summary: Great book! Review: My 7 month daughter loves this book. She is someone that gets bored if she sees something more than once. But we read this book every morning, she always enjoys lifting the flaps.
Rating: Summary: She loves it! Review: My daughter has had this book for about 6 months now and it's still her favorite (she has dozens of other books). I'm here ordering more of the Maisy series. Among her other favorites are the Baby Einstein books from their website.
Rating: Summary: Grandmas Take Notice Review: My two year old granddaughter thinks Maisey is the best. She has been fascinated by all the books and videos. Quiet, kind, simply presented characters teach colors, letters, and friendship.
