Review

In this Maisy selection, Maisy makes her first trip to the local bookstore. There are so many books that she barely knows what to do. She must pick one to purchase. Ostrich the bookseller helps her to find a lovely book about birds, Charley arrives and finds books of interest to him, as do Cyril and Eddie. Then, a lovely snack is enjoyed at the cafe and then a final decision must be made. Oh, my. Which book to purchase? The bold and colorful illustrations are spot-on and will be familiar to those who have enjoyed the other Maisy books. Of course, as a librarian, I must point out that Maisy and all of her friends could borrow endless books at their local library at no charge. Something to consider.

Overall Book Score: very good
