Maisy's Wonderful Weather Book
by
Lucy Cousins
Summary:
The lovable little mouse, Maisy, embarks on a wonderful science adventure and teaches the reader all about different kinds of weather.
Evaluation:
This is a wonderful book for children ages 3-5 years to help them understand the weather. It is very interactive which holds their attention even longer because they have to use the pull tabs to help Maisy see what is happening weather wise. For example, when it is sunny and hot Maisy changes from her clothes to her bathing suite by having the child pull the tab. On the windy day the child has to turn the wheel to make the leaves blow in the wind along with Maisy's hat and kite. There are very few words on a page and the pictures relate fabulously. The topic is great for young children because no matter where they are weather is happening all around them every day. Many children at this age also have many questions about the weather and this helps them to begin to understand what is going on. The pictures are very bright and colorful and the tabs and wheels are easy for small hands to work.
The only downside of this book is if you have a rough child the pull tabs are not very sturdy and do rip if pulled to hard. But all in all I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a preschooler!
