Maisy's Bus: (A Bus-Shaped Board Book About Maisy the Mouse's Adventure Through Town for Toddlers)

by Lucy Cousins, Lucy Cousins (Illustrator)

Overview

Whether driving over land or sailing across the sea, Maisy takes her friends all over the place in two shaped board books.

It’s a beautiful, sunny day, and Maisy knows just how to spend it — at the beach with her friends! Maisy arrives with her bus to pick up her pals. Cyril has food for the picnic, and Tallulah brings her pink float. After Charley and Eddie squeeze on board, it won’t be long at all until they’re at the seaside!

Mouse Maisy drives a green bus to the beach.The Go with Maisy series continues with this board book and the concurrently published Maisy's Sailboat. Both books involve Maisy driving a vehicle and picking up friends along the way. The rounded, die-cut book is unusual and pleasant for little readers to hold, making this an excellent read for car or bus rides (though possibly not when out on a sail). As Maisy drives her bus through her town she picks up Tallulah, Dotty, and other friends described by bold, black, childlike text. The stylized illustrations with a primary color palette fill the double-page-spread illustrations with cute, black-outlined images that will engage young readers, especially fans of the white mouse and her pals. The text offers some vocabulary that's potentially new to readers. Dotty is "the first passenger"; in the final scene, the text crows that "they've arrived!" While neither book is an essential addition to the toddler library, both are agreeable-enough reads. Another solid, engaging piece from Maisy and Co. (Board book. 1-3)
