Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Maisy's Nature Walk
Lucy Cousins · 2008
82/100
👍 Worth It
Lucy Cousins knows exactly what a two-year-old needs and delivers it perfectly here — bold colors, pull-tabs to yank, and Maisy discovering frogs and snail trails in that signature joyful style. Kirkus praised it and Candlewick's production quality means the interactive elements actually hold up. It is more discovery activity than story, but that is exactly the right call for the age group.
