Maisy's Christmas Tree by Lucy Cousins

Maisy’s Christmas Tree
Lucy Cousins
Illustrated by Lucy Cousins
            Maisy the mouse gathers her friends to help her decorate her Christmas tree.  Each friend in turn selects a special decoration and adds it to the tree.  As the animal friends add their decorative touch to Maisy’s tree her look of delight demonstrates Maisy’s value of each friend.
            Young children will enjoy seeing each of Maisy’s friends.  They will enjoy seeing the brightly illustrated pages in bold colors.  The smiles on Maisy and her friends’ faces add a warmth to this simple tale.  The last page has all the friends gathered together singing carols for a happy conclusion to this story.

This sturdy board book is easy for little hands to hold and turn the pages.  The illustrations are simple and yet have some details that can lead to discussions with young children.  As in all the Maisy books, Maisy never leaves out her friends but includes all in the merriment. 

I received this book free from the publishers in exchange for my honest review.
