About this title

Review:

"Brmm, Brmm!" What's Maisy up to today? This sweet mouse is driving a bus! Hop aboard for a ride to stops 1 through 5. Maisy picks up Cyril the squirrel, Little Black Cat, Tallulah the duck, and Eddie the elephant. "Hooray! There's room for everyone."

Maisy's countless fans have followed her through many other gentle adventures, including Maisy Goes Swimming and Happy Birthday Maisy. Lucy Cousins creates an endearing and easy-to-read tale of this charming mouse, with large print, bold colors, and thickly outlined pictures of Maisy and her friends. An unobtrusive introduction to numbers takes a back seat to a simple, humorous story. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Maisy's fans will not be disappointed by either of these titles. In Bus, a simple concept book, the little mouse proves to be a very responsible driver. At each of the first four stops, she picks up an animal friend. At the fifth, she drops them all off, making sure she doesn't leave anyone behind. While Maisy Takes a Bath, Tallulah, a chicken, impatiently waits for her friend to come out and play. Eventually, she hops right into the tub with Maisy. The protagonist has a charming personality with plenty of sparkle. Both books feature bright colors; clearly defined, recognizable objects; and lots of repetition. Great fun for storytimes and lap sharing.
