Maisy, a cute little mouse, learns to count and recognize numbers 1-10. A smiling Maisy enjoys counting yellow chicks and other objects. As she smiles and learns so does young readers.
Maisy’s Amazing Big Book of Learning covers concepts parents and teachers want kids to learn. This includes the ability to recognize colors, shapes and letters. Also, they learn patterns, opposites, weather terms, days of week and much more.
Lucy Cousins not only writes the text, the author illustrates Maisy’s Amazing Big Book of Learning. She uses bright primary colors. Ms. Cousins outlines each object in black which helps toddlers to focus on them and their color. The font is black and large which young readers can see and read easily. Children in circle groups can easily see the pages since the picture book is oversized.
The basic concepts book is interactive, drawing the child into the learning experience. Maisy's Amazing Big Book of Learning has forty flaps for inquisitive fingers to lift and peek under. Kids love making the sounds of musical instruments and animals. Parents and preschool teachers can engage toddlers and young elementary students into conversation. Remember children love adults who listen to them.
Lucy Cousins’s Maisy’s Amazing Big Book of Learning is a great interactive book to help youngsters learn early math concepts. The book cover and pages are sturdy, but if a page tears, scotch tape exists.
