Book Reviews of Maisy's ABC: A Maisy Lift-the-Flap Classic
Book Review: Cute, but not too engaging
Summary: 4 Stars
My 2 year old adores Maisy, and she was thrilled to open this on Christmas morning. The pictures are well done, but many of the flaps, etc were difficult for her to do, and there's no storyline at all, which simply doesn't appeal to her at this age. She wants Maisy to have an adventure, simplistic though it may be. This is a well done book, and if you have a flap happy kid on your hands this will be a winner! However, if yours is more into the story, this might not be your favorite. I don't think she's asked for it again since Christmas.
Summary of Maisy's ABC: A Maisy Lift-the-Flap Classic
Kids will flip for this Maisy novelty book! Now reissued in its original size, with a bold new design.From their tactile matte-and-gloss covers to the brief guidelines for parents on the back, these lift-the-flap, pull-the-tab favorites now have a whole new look -- and are sure to have instant appeal for both Maisy fans and grown-ups who love them.
Bold, block-color paintings of Maisy the mouse and friends make up this very simple, very appealing alphabet book. Maisy is a happy little rodent with a cheeky smile who journeys (in many changes of clothing) through a landscape of other animals. On the first page, she is traveling by "Bb--boat"; she sees a patch of seaweed, which opens like a door to display a hidden "Cc--crab"; her yellow sail folds back to reveal that she is riding with a stowaway "Aa--alligator"; and a pull-tab sends a purple "Dd--dolphin" leaping from the blue water. Elsewhere, insects flap their wings, a kite flutters, Maisy's prominent orange whiskers twitch, and a tortoise and a squirrel strum at a ukulele and a violin while Maisy herself plays the xylophone. This clever, effective use of pop-ups and pull-tabs make this ABC book--and perhaps the ABCs themselves--memorable. (Baby to 4) --Richard Farr
