Reviews
Maisy Big, Maisy Small: A Book of Rhyming Opposites is a book for everyone across the generations. As soon as I saw this beautiful book in my parcel of books to review, I was absolutely thrilled. I read it immediately, aloud. On my second reading of this book, I sang the words with exuberant expression. Now, I am looking forward to taking this book to the local community pre-school to have a fun reading time with the children. They will love the words and illustrations and discovering so many opposites. I think we might even ‘sing the book together.
