PreS—The latest Maisy book describes the beloved mouse's first plane trip. Through simply stated text with a friendly tone, readers' journey along with Maisy from check-in, boarding, and finding a seat to buckling seat belts, holding the hand of a nervous friend, and taking off. Finally, after they soar through the night, it's time for "Touchdown! The plane gives a little bump and a jump as it lands." With its trademark bright, saturated colors, black outlines, and flat illustration style, this title is ready-made for the preschool set and will help prepare for a first plane trip, or serve as another reliable transportation title.
VERDICT A solid addition to the series.
Reviewed by Ramarie Beaver, Plano Public Library System, TX
Maisy and friends split into two teams for some good-natured competition, including a sack race and tug-of-war (Field Day). Preschoolers ride along with Maisy, from check in to baggage claim, in Plane. The stories are slight, but they're not the point. The books give young children basic information about unfamiliar situations. Cousins's bright art is reassuringly familiar. Review covers these Maisy First Experiences Book titles: Maisy Goes on a Plane and Maisy's Field Day.
