Customer Reviews

Great books for toddlers

My son, who just turned 2 years old, loves all the Maisy books. The stories are very simple to grasp and the large, bright pictures grab his attention. They focus around ideas that every young child can relate to such as going to the grocery store, using the vacuum cleaner, and bedtime routine. My son loves to point out all the things he is familiar with in the pictures and we read at least one Maisy tale each day.

Good traveler

The Maisy series is fantastic. The colorful illustrations and simple story lines have my toddler hooked. She has memorized all four of her books including Maisy Goes Shopping. Naturally toddlers love repetition, which means we read them together every day. Because they are so thin, they easily travel with us everywhere. I get frustrated when my daughter tears the thin pages. But if they were board books, they wouldn't travel as well.

My 2 year old niece LOVES this book!

This is my niece's favorite book even though she does not watch the television show. She adores the pictures. I have so much fun reading this to her -- we talk about the pictures together: I show her the picture of Charlie's empty fridge and she tells me what foods are in her fridge at home. We name the types of juices that Charlie is buying based on the pictures. She points out the bananas in the grocery cart, etc. She asks for this to be read to her over and over. Fortunately, it is not annoying to read this particular book to her. I recommend this to anyone who wants their children to learn to love reading and have fun with books.

Great toddler book

In this book Maisy and Charley go grocery shopping. My two year old loves grocery shopping and is fascinated by the book. We read it over and over and over. Actually it is great for me too, because I use it to talk about what kind of foods we can buy at the grocery store. Maisy and Charley buy apples, bananas, yogurt, bread etc... It is a good opportunity to get in a plug for nutritious foods.
