Awesome book

I got this book for my 16 month old 1 week ago and she has hardly put it down since. It has bright captivating illustrations, robust flaps that are hard to tear, and a different theme on each page. The themes are ones from real life (counting bugs in the garden, colouring different objects, putting different shaped toys away in the playroom, and doing opposites in the playground) and the way the flaps teach the concepts is ingenious. My baby is particularly crazy about the opposites page since when you flip the flaps Maisy goes up and down the slide, Cyril swings high and and low on the swing and Charley dumps a bucket of sand into a truck, all activities she's crazy about herself. Flipping the flaps and seeing the results has her mesmerized. I can't say enough good things about this book!

my 3 year old loves this...has enjoyed this book for months

Cute book. Really big. Lots of little flaps to open. Lots of fun things to talk about (if child is speech delayed and you are looking to teach vocabulary interactively)...Concepts up/down and wet/dry are shown very effectively with flaps...Lots of good chances to say "where is....?" and open flaps to find. If your 2-3 year old likes Maisy, this is a good book ...

Ultimate Maisy book

This is a must have for all Maisy book fans. It's the best by far. The book teaches colors, numbers, opposites and more. My 21 month old and I especially love the counting page. The flaps are in the shape of a pyramid and go from one to five (with bugs underneath). Nicest and most interactive counting page I've come across. My daughter counts along with me. Love this book and it's sturdy too!!!

Wonderful Book!!

This book is a real hit with my 20-month-old. She clutched it in her hands while she was napping the other day, and when I tried to pry it away from her, she held onto it even tighter. The drawings are wonderful, and it has educational value as well. There are enough flaps in the book to keep her engaged for quite a while; it was a godsend to have during a recent long car trip. Buy it!

Maisy's Big HAPPY Flap Book

My 13 month daughter absolutely adores this book! The look on her face when she first opened it was priceless. She's always loved the Maisy flap books and this one is really wonderful. Big bright, colorful pages with lots of fun, unique flaps in a variety of shapes and sizes. Talulah, Ceril and Charlie all make an appearance, but there are also many solid concepts regarding color, numbers, up/down, open/closed, etc. Can't say enough good things about this splendid book. It is hands down my little girl's favorite. She loves to snuggle in my lap with it every night.
