Maisy's Big Flap Book
Lift the flaps with Maisy the mouse, every toddler's best friend, in this colourful first concepts book, winner of the 2000 Practical Pre-School Silver Award.
This ingenious, colourful lift-the-flap board book is the perfect first concept book for any Maisy fan. Several new concepts are introduced as Maisy and her friends do the gardening, paint pictures, dress up and play in the park. There are thirty-six differently-shaped flaps to lift, each double-page spread introducing a new concept: numbers, colours, shapes and opposites.

Reviews
Preschoolers will enjoy seeing the surprises behind the 36 big flaps. The sturdy book will allow repeated reading and play.
The Associated Press
Multiple flaps on the opening spread allow youngsters to ‘call on’ Maisy and her friends, each in his or her own house; they then proceed to count the creatures in the garden, pick out shapes as they clean up the playroom, and reward themselves after their hard work with a spread of activities on the playground.
Publishers Weekly
Brimming with interactive educational opportunities–and a whole lot of fun to boot– this is a notable addition to the Maisy collection.
