BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3)- ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Maisy and her friends are going to the theater!  They have tickets to,"Funny Feathers" starring Flora Fantastica! They wait in line to show their tickets. They pick up a program and find their seats.  The audience is very quite when the curtain goes up and the show begins.  Maisy and her friends enjoy the singing and dancing.  They are fascinated by the special helpers who come out onto the stage and roll the jungle trees away and bring in the big city! During intermission they go to the bathroom and grab snacks. The second part of the show is as exciting as the first half.  When the show is over they stand to clap and cheer loudly.  As the friends walk home together they enjoy singing songs from their wonderful trip to the theater!

Any book written and illustrated by Lucy Cousins is a treasure!  Maisy and her friends help little readers prepare for their first experience going to a live theater. performance. Going to the show is fun, but it's even more fun with Maisy.  We enjoy these Maisy First Experience Books.  Whether going to a live performance for the first time, or learning how to swim, Lucy Cousins helps to easy fears and provides a platform for discussing feelings, emotions and detailed steps to new experiences.  The illustrations are bright and colorful!
