Ages 2-4
Pop-up
Maisy and her friends are putting on a show but first they need to practice.
The simple premise of Maisy putting on a show provides rich material for this 3-D book which encourages the reader to participate for the characters to practice for the show. Eddie the elephant practices his tricks with a ball. Charley the acrobat flips around in a cartwheel. Cyril magically disappears in a peek-a-boo act. Tallulah pirouettes around a mirror. Finally after everyone's ready, the show goes on as a eye catching tableaux captures the show and every character giving the show and the book truly a grand finale. As a result, the pop-up pages of this book tells the story independently from the text which does not fail to entertain and hypnotize even the most bawdy group of toddlers. With or without the popular story and background association of the popular little white mouse named Maisy.
