In MAISYs BIG FLAP BOOK, Maisy and her friends–Cyril, Tallulah, and Charley–are busy working in the garden, painting and playing in the playroom, and having fun at the park. Young children will eagerly join in, and with thirty-six flaps to lift, they will discover a dazzling world of numbers, colors, shapes, and opposites!

The Selection Committee chose this title because the bright colors of Maisy books always captivate children. Lift-the-flaps books have been shown to promote brain development in toddlers. That the flaps hide lessons on colors, numbers, shapes and opposites only enhances the book.
