Lucy Cousins

Maisy goes to the library in search of a book about fish and a quiet place in which to read it.

Maisy the mouse has a busy day at preschool dancing, painting, singing and doing other things.

Maisy the mouse and her animal friends accompany nervous Charley on his first visit to the dentist.

Maisy and her friends enjoy a game of soccer.

"Tonight Maisy and her friends are playing in a band! Pull the tabs to see Maisy play drums (rat-a-tat-tat), Charlie play bass (tum-te-tum! tum-te-tum! ), and Tallulah tickle the ivories (plinkety-plonk)"--

Pecking his way through the door of a house, an intrepid little woodpecker busily raps on a rhyming sequence of indoor objects, from a hat and a mat and a racket and jacket to a teddy bear and a book called Jane Eyre.

In an exuberant display of color, Lucy Cousins invites little ones to imagine themselves as brilliant birds. Birds of all feathers flock together in a fun, rhyme-filled offering by the creator of Maisy. From the rooster's "cock-a-doodle-doo" at dawn to the owl's nighttime "tuwit, tuwoo," the cheeps and tweets of many bright and beautiful avian friends will have children eager to join in as honorary fledglings. This day in the life of birds will hold...

Itś a hot day, and Maisy is having a nice cold drink. Eddie is hot, too, but it takes a lot of lemonade to satisfy this thirsty friend. Not to worry - Maisy goes out to the garden and, with a boost from Eddie, picks some fresh lemons. Together they stir in some water and sugar, and there! A pitcher of refreshing lemonade. Now she just needs to go get some cups - but what is that slurping noise.

When Maisy hurts herself on a trampoline, she goes to the hospital, where she is taken care of and meets a new friend.

A fresh look at eight classic stories, told with bold language and vibrant pictures.
