At Home with Maisy

This slim volume collects four short stories starring the world's second most popular cartoon mouse: "Maisy Makes Gingerbread," "Doctor Maisy," "Maisy Takes A Bath," and "Maisy's Bedtime." Writer/artist Lucy Cousins delivers a consistent product -- little depth to the stories, but instant appeal to little kids, just the kind of thing to encourage early readers. This is a favorite in our household... and a bargain compared to what you'd pay if you bought the stories separately. Also, I am generally not a fan of books that gather a bunch of kid's stories together in one cover, but this one is quite well done -- the art is true to its original scale and the layout doesn't suffer at all. It's a quality product.
