Product Description
From Amazon
Guess where Maisy the mouse lives. Does she live in the pigpen? "Oink! The pigs live here." Does she live in the hen house? "Cluck! The hens live here." Does she live in the stable? "Neigh! The horses live here." With large, sturdy flaps, this pint-sized board book will appeal to every toddler's giggly sense of humor. (Silly! Maisy doesn't live in the dog house!) In her picture books about the endearing Maisy, the talented Lucy Cousins rustles up the ideal preschool picture-book recipe: simple, repetitive text and boldly outlined, brightly colored pictures. As Maisy's many devotees will attest, pretty much anything she does is worth reading about. Need proof? Try another Maisy title--or take two, they're small!--Where Are Maisy's Friends?, Maisy Goes to School, Maisy Goes Swimming, and lots more. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Two more board books featuring the lovable mouse. In the first title, youngsters are invited to play hide-and-seek with Maisy and her friends. Cousins's signature bold acrylic illustrations outlined in thick black lines depict familiar objects such as a bed, table, closet, and bathtub, all set against a solid white background. When they lift the sturdy flaps, children will find Maisy along with a squirrel, elephant, duck, and alligator all hiding under, inside, or behind these objects. With simple one-sentence questions, the second book invites readers to guess where Maisy lives by showing dwellings such as a henhouse, pigpen, doghouse, and stable. The appropriate animals are discovered underneath sturdy flaps: "Oink! The pigs live here" and "Arf! The dog lives here." The animal sounds and simple sentences are perfect for babies and toddlers, and the basic repetitive texts are suitable for sharing in lap-sit programs.

Another Fun Lift the Flap Book from Maisy,
By
This review is from: Where Does Maisy Live?: A Lift-the-Flap Book (Board book)
If you are the parent of a young child, you probably know who Maisy is. She's a mouse with a duck, a squirrel, an elephant, and a crocodile for friends. Why the crocodile isn't trying to eat the others is beyond me, but that's life in Maisy's world.Both of my daughters love the Maisy books; there's something about their simple stories and colorful pictures that even appeals to adults. The books are short and easy to read. But, the stories are never obnoxiously simplistic, like so many other books for small children. This is a lift the flap book in which the childen are lifting flaps trying to figure out where Maisy lives. Naturally, we don't find out untilt he end of the book (hey, it would ruin the plot to reveal earlier, right?). One caution, the kids might get a little aggressive with the flaps and tear a few, resulting in the purchase of a new lift the flap book.

Ayla, my 16 month old grand-daughter, just loves this book. She also loved the Karen Katz books, too, as she is into lifting the flap books.

Maisy's a winner,
This review is from: Where Does Maisy Live?: A Lift-the-Flap Book (Board book)
My two year old son loves the Maisy books and so do I - the illustrations are so appealling! He really enjoys this book. The premise is very simple - does Maisy live in the stable? no, the horses do etc - but it lends itself to racuous shouts of "no" as he lifts the flap on each page, which is a lot of fun. It's also very robust, which I appreciate. So far none of the flaps have been torn off. My only criticism is that it's very short. I feel a bit cheated by that. If you're after one fun flap book, I would recommend "Where's Spot" ahead of Maisy.
