Maisy's Digger: A Go with Maisy Board Book

by Lucy Cousins, Lucy Cousins (Illustrator)

Overview

Maisy digs with her friends in a shaped board book loaded with preschooler appeal.

Scoop, scoop, scoop! Maisy loves working in her digger, and now she’s digging a pond in her backyard. She scoops up dirt, dumps it into huge piles, and makes a huge hole. Charley helps line the pond with gravel, Eddie fills it with water, and Cyril plants reeds at the edge. Now all that’s left is for Tallulah to put in some fish—and for everyone to enjoy the lovely pond!

From the Publisher

Maisy and her pals create a pond. Maisy uses her digger to dig a big hole in her backyard. After Eddie the elephant fills the hole with water and Maisy's other friends put their own finishing touches on the pond, everyone gathers and celebrates. This board book's emphasis is on cooperation and early narrative-comprehension skills. The clear chain of events simply illustrated by childlike lines and Crayola colors makes for a thunderously simple book, but that is entirely appropriate for its audience. Another Maisy board book, the simultaneously publishing Maisy's Race Car, uses similar illustrations and narrative tactics to get little readers used to the traditional story arc of beginning, middle, and end. Fans of Maisy's world will surely appreciate these two further adventures, and newcomers will find this a sweet introduction to the characters. These are very basic board books, but they both accomplish their goals. A pleasant introduction to basic story structure. (Board book. 2-3)
