Come Fly with Maisy!

The book in my seat pocket on my recent US Airways flight (which we were encouraged to take) was Lucy Cousin’s “Come Fly with Maisy!”
I’ve never really taken to the Maisy books (or the TV show) but all of my children have enjoyed them, and this book is no exception. “Come Fly with Maisy!” features Charley, Cyril, Maisy, Tallulah and the gang as they learn about various methods of transportation including trains, horses and rockets.
As with most Maisy books, “Come Fly with Maisy!” is interactive. At the front of the book, each set of pages features a question and a group of answers from which to choose from – suitable for the toddler and young reader set. At the end of the book, there are activities for older children (meaning early elementary age) such as connect the dots, counting games, mazes and “same and different.”
Again, Maisy isn’t my favorite but then I am not the target audience. My son, Charlie, gives it a big thumbs up.
