Maisy in on a grocery shopping trip with Panda. They have a list, and explore the grocery aisles looking for bananas, carrots, and bread. Maisy needs cheese to put on her sandwiches, and when they have all their items, they check out and go home for lunch!
At the back of the book, there is a fold-out that creates a play scene, complete with cut-out figures of Maisy and Panda, and a cash register where they can purchase the groceries! It's made of thick cardboard to withstand little hands.
This would be a great book to read with a young child, and get them to identify all the food items in the pictures. What a wonderful way to teach toddlers about different foods, and then play with the scene and cut-outs at the back!
Such a cute book!

Shorter and a little less interesting than the other Maisy books I've read. But still great illustrations and my toddler wants it again again again again!

My 3.5-year-old and I love the Maisy books. Each one is brief, simple and cheerful. There are no obstacles or problems, just everyday fun activities.

A nice and simple brightly coloured book that children will love. My daughter loves to go shopping so this book was a winner.

Like all Maisy books the colours are bright and the writing is big and bold..A no fuss book. Maisy goes to the supermarket to buy some goods. This is a super simple and sweet story that can be read within minutes and most likely you'll have a child wanting to hear the story more than once because of how short it is.
Why does Maisy go shopping? She decided to visit her friend Charley near lunch time and poor Charley's fridge is EMPTY! So together they go shopping and pick out various foods that they'd like to have at lunch while restocking Charley's fridge.
A story that will appeal to the under 5's and can be used easily in a school setting if you want to help with a child's reading (if they're up to it) or pointing out the colours, talking about what they're buying,etc.

Another Maisy book that is bound to appeal to the younger set. In this book, Maisy goes to the supermarket and buys a variety of things for her lunch. The colourful illustrations provide many things for adults to talk about with their pre-schoolers - can you see the broccoli? Which cake would you choose? The fun continues with fold out pages to recreate the supermarket and pop-out play figures for children to act out their own shopping expedition. While the format of this book makes it unsuitable for libraries it is bound to be a hit in home collections.

A typical Maisy book, this time about going to the grocery store. It doesn't have as much info as say the book about the museum, but it has enough. Natalie liked pointing out the foods they buy. These were good choices since most kids will recognize the foods. I also liked that they paid, since so many kids' stories completely skip that part.

Short and Simple stories about daily routines, like going to the market, begin to introduce young listeners to how stories work and increase vocabulary! Maisy books are great for young ears!
