I’m not sure how we discovered the Maisy books by Lucy Cousins, I was probably just browsing Amazon.co.uk, but somehow I ran across the Maisy mouse series of books and ordered one. Oliver just loves them. The lift-the-flap books are made of seemingly very lightweight cardboard, but are sturdy enough to handle toddler abuse without even a hint of damage, unlike most lift-the-flap books that die within a few days of arrival at our home.
The illustrations are cute and the books don’t get on my nerves if I have to read them for the 100th time… again. If you haven’t already, check them out. Heck, there’s even a Maisy fun club site for when your little one graduates to the internet.
