We own this one and read it all the time but I've never added it here.

Maisy’s morning routine consists of feeding the different animals on the farm! She visits the chickens, the cows, the pigs, and the sheep. At the end of the morning she remembers to have her own breakfast to get the day started in a good way! This book is great to teach routines as well as for kids learning to identify animals.

Mornings are busy on Maisy’s farm. There are chores: chickens, pigs, and sheep to feed, cows to milk. But when the chores are finished, it’s time for Maisy and Little Black Cat to enjoy a yummy breakfast.

Young readers will find Maisy’s farm adventures delightful. Bright illustrations accompany the simple text that young readers will enjoy reading on their own.

Recommended.

I understand why Maisy would be popular with young kids...stylized but colourful illustrations and simple verse to capture their attention. (although highly advised, do not give cats milk like in thebook please)

Morning is a busy time on Maisy's farm. In MAISY'S MORNING ON THE FARM, there are chickens and pigs to feed, and the cow to milk. After the chores are finished, there's just one more thing to do—eat a yummy breakfast!

It was a good read.

I love this book because I go help my Pawpaw feed the horses and chickens. Then we go inside and eat breakfast.

An enjoyable little story for a three year old.

I loved these as a kid and my son did as well. I like these quiet toddler shows and in the case of Maisy it was like baby ASMR for me and I still love it today.

A good read about Maisy’s morning routine on the farm, then making her breakfast from the milk she milked, fun read for all

This one was a good story to read out loud, as it led to asking the kids what sounds the various animals make.

I liked this book because of the pictures, and the fact that a mouse is doing farm work or any kind of work for that matter is hilarious! The pictures have vivid colors, and are large enough for me to see the specifics and the message that the author is trying to portray. Maisy talks to herself a lot, and thinks aloud. She also uses a lot of personification and rhyming words too. It was a great book, and I recommend it for K-2nd grade classrooms.

Like all Maisy books they're bright and colourful with big bold text with a very simple plot line. Some of Maisy books are longer than each other and the shorter ones tend to be grouped together to make for a 'longer read'..This one is on the longer side of things with 24 pages to tell it's tale about Maisy's adventure on the farm.

This is basically introducing children to the idea of having responsibilities on a farm if you lived on one..But it also shows that if you own any type of animals you need to care for them (feeding, brushing, cleaning out their living quarters, tending to the cows,etc) plus at the end to eat a scrummy breakfast after all that hard mornings work.

The funny side to this story is seeing a mouse care for all these animals considering shes a MOUSE and usually mice are hated on farms (yes, this is from an adults point of view but you get the idea).

Will appeal to children under the age of 5..Can be used in a school setting for learning purposes. Have used many Maisy books with children before, they always seem to be a hit.

I'm not a big fan of Maisy, but my 4 and 2 year old are, so we read it. Over and over and over gain.

The pictures are big and bright and colorful. And look like my kid drew them. That bugs. BUT my kids think it's "really cool". So there you have it.

This book doesn't teach a whole lot about farms or how they work. Maisy does a few things, really fast and then eats breakfast. Man, I wish it had been that easy when I lived on a farm.

But like I said, my kids like it so we read it. Did I mention we read it a lot? We do.

I haven't quite figured out why my kids love Maisy books so much. Perhaps they appreciate the simple, yet brightly colorful art, or they like that there aren't many words. I truly don't know. They did enjoy pointing out all of the different farm animals as we read this one, and they asked why Maisy's friends weren't there, too.

This book is about a Mouse named Maisy and how he runs his farm. He feeds the animals, milk the cows, and still finds time to eat breakfast, talk about a busy morning. This book would be good for reasons like they teach about animals and shows some of the responsibilities of a farmer

I liked this particular Maisy book more than Natalie. I liked all the farm animals, but I think the subject is getting a little old for Natalie. The book mostly focuses on Maisy feeding all the animals in the morning.

[Rima Aroutiounian · Rating 5 out of 5]

Maisy takes care of every farm animal, feeds them and looks after them. This story will help the children to start knowing about caring about animals and just caring in general. The print is in bold and large.

Maisy takes care of the farmyard animals before eating her breakfast.

[Katy W · Rating 3 out of 5]

All of these Maisy books are perfect for pre-schoolers. Bright colours and simple stories about things that very young children are familiar with.

My 3-year-old's favorite books :) Cute drawings and sweet stories, on kid-level.

I used this for virtual story time and filmed with my chickens in the background! Super cute and fun for all!
