Maisy Goes to London

Review
In this energetic, whirlwind tour of London by beloved Maisy, toddlers will learn new vocabulary and will be prepped if London is their vacation destination. Parents planning a trip with their young reader will have to abbreviate Maisy's hectic itinerary. In bright primary colors, Cousins illustrates Maisy and friends visiting various landmarks, seemingly all in one day. Piccadilly Square, Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery, lunch in a park, Buckingham Palace, a walk along the Thames and then the Aquarium all hold a two-page spread. Maisy's vacation photos of the various landmarks visited are labelled only in the back end pages which will make book processing tricky for some libraries. Useful for themed story times and preschool programs.
