Synopsis

Very young children will go crazy for Maisy — and bathtubs!

Maisy and her friends act out the lively adventures young children have — or dream of having — every day. In Maisy Takes a Bath, Tallulah doesn't want Maisy to take a bubble bath just now. She wants her to come out and play instead. What will Maisy's friend do next? Here's another very good reason to be crazy for Maisy!

About this title

Review:

It's one of those unwritten laws of life: run a bath, and the doorbell rings. For Maisy the mouse, bathtime looks like it may never happen. She runs the water, puts in some bubbles, drops in her rubber ducky, and... "Ding, Dong!" Maisy's friend Tallulah the duck is at the door, tennis racket in wing, wanting to play. Maisy asks her to come back later. But as soon as Maisy undresses and pops in her bubbly bath, the doorbell rings for a second time. It's Tallulah, coming to play again! And this time, it looks like Tallulah has a sure-fire plan to guarantee playtime with her friend. Soon, both Maisy and Tallulah are splashing and playing in the bath together.

Maisy is a big favorite among young readers everywhere. Lucy Cousins's sweet stories of this endearing mouse and her friends celebrate the simple pleasures of life: Maisy Goes to Bed and Happy Birthday Maisy. Thick black lettering and boldly outlined, brightly colored illustrations make this a tremendously appealing tale for early readers. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Maisy's fans will not be disappointed by either of these titles. In Bus, a simple concept book, the little mouse proves to be a very responsible driver. At each of the first four stops, she picks up an animal friend. At the fifth, she drops them all off, making sure she doesn't leave anyone behind. While Maisy Takes a Bath, Tallulah, a chicken, impatiently waits for her friend to come out and play. Eventually, she hops right into the tub with Maisy. The protagonist has a charming personality with plenty of sparkle. Both books feature bright colors; clearly defined, recognizable objects; and lots of repetition. Great fun for storytimes and lap sharing.
