From Booklist:

PreS-K. In Cousins' latest picture book about Maisy, the amiable little mouse goes to the library because "she loves to read a book in a nice, quiet place." Maisy settles down with a book about fish, but her friends come in, and she joins them for a story program. Her once-quiet reading place is now filled with hysterical laughter about the old lady who swallowed a fly. Maisy checks out her book and finds another "nice, quiet place" to read--outdoors, under a tree. The illustrations, in Cousins' signature style, feature bold, black outlines filled with deep, solid colors, making the pictures easy for even toddlers to interpret. Adults hoping for a simple guide to using libraries may be disappointed. It makes perfect sense to Maisy that she finds a fish book by the aquarium; the Dewey Decimal system can wait a few years. Young children will enjoy this simple, upbeat story set in and around a public library. Carolyn Phelan
