Maisy's Farm by Lucy Cousins - GIFT

Maisy’s Farm by Lucy Cousins.  BOARD BOOK  Candlewick Press, 2019.  $9.  9781536206135  

BUYING ADVISORY: GIFT – PRE-K  

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE  

Maisy and her friends go to a farm.  They help feed the animals, drive a tractor and tend the garden.  At the end of the day they help put the animals to bed.  

This Maisy book has simple text with one line descriptions and the illustrations are bright and attractive.  My one issue with this book is that Maisy is a mouse and her friends are a squirrel and chicken, but they are helping tend to horses, chickens and pigs on a farm—the mix of human-like animals and farm animals was a big confusing.  This book has a fold out farm at the back, which is similar to paper dolls, making it not really suitable for a library.
