I love the Maisy books. There are several reasons why I love them. First of all, the stories are very uncomplicated and simple, which make them perfect for babies and toddlers. I really enjoy the simplicity of the Maisy books. Secondly, the illustrations are bright, bold and eye catching. I really like Lucy Cousin's style of illustrating her books. Again, they are simple and very attractive to children and adults. The third reason I love the Maisy books is because of the font they are written in. It is large and easy to read. This is perfect for new readers. If they can easily read the font it is very beneficial to finger point to the text while you are reading to encourage your child to read sentences. And the fourth reason I love the Maisy books is because many of them, I am not sure if all of them, have the text on a separate page. This is wonderful when you are teaching your baby to read. You can fold the book in half and focus on the text and then look at the pictures. The books have only a few sentences per page, which make them a great transitioning tool from words to books. I am including a few of the many Maisy books here
