Maisy's Street: A Maisy Concertina Book by Lucy Cousins
Walker
Books, 2009. ISBN 9781406321982.
(Age 2+) A wonderful concertina book which also has the added
fascination of flaps that open up, Maisy's Street is sure to
delight
the very
young. The book opens with an instruction
to walk down the street with Maisy to Eddie's birthday party. On the
way Maisy
collects friends and the reader meets the doctor, the postman
and goes past the bank, the library and the
ice-cream van.
Each page is numbered and the young reader will have lots of
fun following the concertina and turning over the right page as well as
lifting
up the flaps to see what is underneath. There are two metres of
two-sided pages,
so that's a lot of fun and a lot to see in Maisy's Street!
The book is made out of sturdy cardboard and brightly
illustrated with simple text. It is sure to please readers who are
familiar
with Maisy and will be a great introduction for children who are
unfamiliar with
other Maisy books.
