Maisy Drives the Bus

"Maisie [the mouse] is driving her bus today. Who will be waiting at Bust Stop Number 1?" That's the beginning of this delightful tale for very small fry. The pictures are bright and uncluttered, and the book features some elementary counting. There's an element of surprise as Maisy picks up passengers at bus stops 1 through 5: Will there be room for Eddie the elephant? For toddlers and younger, a fun and colorful introduction to reading.

My son received this book as a gift when he was three months old. Even at that age he was mesmerized by the bright, bold illustrations, and was able to turn the fairly sturdy pages. This book was by far his favorite until about 13 months old. The text is very simple and straightforward, and the illustrations spell out the text. Visually, the Maisy books are irresistable to babies.

This is another Lucy Cousins book your babies and toddlers are sure to enjoy! The bright, bold pictures captivate my ten-month old twins and this book is great for quiet time. The boys love to turn the pages to see which of Maisy's friends is waiting to be picked up at the next bus stop by Maisy and her bus. The twins love looking at the illustrations, pointing at the pictures and flipping the pages. You can't go wrong with any of the Lucy Cousin's books -- they are hits with all babies!

This is a great book for older babies and toddlers. My ten-month old twins love the brightly colored pages and the big, bold text. They love turning the pages and seeing which of Maisy's friends is waiting to be picked up at the next bus stop. This book keeps their attention --- they quiet down, look at the pictures and point at Maisy's friends. This is another great Lucy Cousin's book that will sure to be worn out from use.
