The pictures are cute and it makes my girl laugh, however it's mechanics need to be improved. The flaps could be bigger for ease of little hands and to reveal a bigger part of the image. The two small circle flaps from the ones in the library are torn off, as they're made too small and the cabinet door page could offer both doors to open instead of only one. I can see other curious kids have tried to open the other door there, alike to my child, because that side that doesn't open has bent edges too.

Not a bad tale of lost panda but Maisy really should’ve looked a bit harder in the first place given the eventual found location.

This little lift-the-flap was a favorite when my kids were toddlers. And it has a good plot for a lift-the-flap: Looking for Maisy's panda stuffy in different places.

Where is Maisy's Panda? by Lucy Cousins is the latest Maisy book my son and I have read. Past reviews will show this series is a huge with my son, and this volume is no exception.

In this volume, you are looking for Maisy's stuff animal Panda. You are taken on a voyage through the house to look in all kinds of hiding places. Unfortunately, there are all kinds of other animals hiding out. And Panda is in the last place you'd think to look... or is she?

Like the others in this series, the book is a great size to fit in my son's lap. And the flaps are small and shaped to fit the object you are looking in. My only complaint (my son's really) is that only one door on the cupboard opens. My son gets very frustrated trying to open the other side, where there is no flap.

I got this board book for my son when he was just 1. He loved it! He's a little over 2 now and still loves it.. Great book!

I bought this book when I was pregnant with my first child because I liked the look of it and both of my children have loved Maisy ever since.
It holds a very special place in my heart.

Kiva kurkistuskirja, jossa harmittavasti oli jo muutama luukku rikki. Mutta ne pari jotka toimivat, olivat kovassa käytössä.

My daughter got right into lifting up the flaps. Something about the bright illustrations was very appealing to her.

This is a really great for bilingual students who speak Spanish. This book is also great for individuals learning Spanish because there is both english and Spanish translation throughout the book. This book is about how Maisy lost her Panda. Daisy ended up looking all over the place for Panda. At the end Panda was snuggled up with Maisy. This book would be appropriate for preschool and kindergarten.
