Fun, excitement and colorful costumes aplenty as Maisy and her friends get ready for a party.
Join the adorable little mouse and her friends book, introducing the very young to the appealing world of Maisy. In Maisy Dresses Up , Maisy has been invited to Tallulah's fancy-dress party, but what should she dress up as?
Lucy Cousins, BA Honours in Graphic Design from The Faculty of Arts and Architecture, Brighton Polytechnic, postgraduate degree from Royal College of Art, is an author-illustrator of children's books. She is best known for her books featuring Maisy Mouse but she has also published other children's books including one about Noah's Ark. She is a mother of four and lives in Hampshire, England. Her own children are the inspiration for her books whose age range is 2-8.
Deciding upon what to wear to a party is a tough call. The horrors of turning up alike someone is undocumented. But Maisy keeps a cool head and trumps it! She has to look unique and she pulls it off.
I found this at a thrift store and couldn't resist. The Maisy books are cute, and the costume theme is seasonally relevant right now for Halloween. I've now confirmed that my library doesn't own this title, and I'm glad I'll have it on hand for any storytimes I do with little kids in the future.
Meh. I'm just not that into the Maisy books. Also, the illustrations were actually too simplistic: my little one couldn't guess most of the costumes from them.
3.5 stars Nothing really sticks out except she makes her own costume. I don't really like that she can't wear other costumes though because someone else is
This was the second book I used in this week's "PIRATES & CROCODILES" story time. I said, "Maisy has been invited to a costume party. When we see a PIRATE costume, we'll stop reading this story". As it happens, the pirate costume appears on page three, and guess who's wearing it? A Crocodile!
"How do you know it's a pirate?" I asked and then waited for the children's responses. It seems the hat is the main clue.
Then I said, "Aaarrgh! Now we have to put this book down, because we came to the pirate costume already." I invited the children to "talk like a pirate" with me, telling the grownups about TALK-LIKE-A-PIRATE day while I was at it.
Natalie liked this one a lot. She would have a lot to say about the pictures of Charly, Eddie, and Cyril dressed up. She also got a kick out of saying that it was a zebra at the door. I think this book was perfectly timed for us since she likes Maisy, but is also starting to grasp the idea of dress up.
Picture Book 12 I thought this picture book was great to get the imagination going of children, as they go through the different costumes that Maisy is considering wearing to her costume party. I also really enjoyed the bright colors of the pictures throughout the story.
