Maisy's First Clock

Maisy

by Lucy Cousins

An oversized, novelty board book containing a colorful plastic clock with hands that move and gears that whir and turn.

It’s eight o’clock, time to get up - and check on Maisy! With this delightful clock book, preschoolers can follow their favorite mouse throughout the day - a day much like their own - while learning the basics of telling time on a sturdy clock with movable hands. What’s more, little readers can help Maisy with some very important decisions, by choosing from bright, simple illustrations of familiar objects labeled by name. What will she wear? What will she play with in the park? What ingredients does she need to bake cookies? What will she bring with her to bed? For preschoolers ready to learn about time - or just to have a great time - MAISY'S FIRST CLOCK is a sure bet for hours of fun.

From Publishers Weekly

Youngsters learn to tell time with a favorite mouse in Maisy's First Clock by Lucy Cousins. "8 0'clock Good morning, Maisy!" This oversize board book chronicles the major moments in Maisy's day; a clock with movable hands and colorful gears peeks out of die-cut circles, and children can place the hands to match the picture on the opposite page.

Great Maisy book! Clock is sturdy and the hands can be turned. Each page says something like "12:00 It's lunchtime! What will Maisy eat?" with drawings of various foods your child can choose.

[Becky Shaknovich]

This is a great concept book for reading one-on-one with a child or in a very small group. This book is fun when learning to tell time or just learning what we do during each time of day.
