Maisy

by Lucy Cousins

Exciting, impressive; the perfect gift! This stand-up, fold-out, carousel now has a second floor, more toys, a bath, Malsy's friends, plus a colourful garden. There's so much for Maisy and her friends to do - dressing, dancing, cooking, having a picnic, riding a trike, gardening, watering, playing hide and seek, tidying up, having a bath...and finally going to bed, with Panda. This book offers endless scope for imaginative play with press-out figures of Maisy, Tallulah, Cyril and Charlie and over 40 press-out toys, plus more than fifteen flaps for little hands to explore...perfect for curious toddlers. A pull-out booklet full of suggested activities is also included.

My 5.5yr old loves this book that she received as a gift. Flat "paper dolls" and items are there to make the imagination come alive. The characters can have a bath, go to the toilet (has a lift up lid), planting plants in the garden (lift a flap and the flowers go from stalks to grown flowers), sleep in a pop up bed with a flat teddy bear, brush her teeth, lots of doors, cupboards and windows to open, ride her flat trike, put the broom in the cupboard under the stairs.

My parents say I am too little for this book and that I would damage it, which isn't true! I would just rip it apart and put it in my mouth, that's all!
