School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1 Sweet Maisy the mouse returns in familiar, primary-colored gouaches heavily outlined in black. In the first book, she gets ready for bed, finds her misplaced Panda, and, at the last minute, the pair remember to use the toilet. The second book is a real charmer. Maisy's pal Tallulah helps set up and repair a wading pool; then the girls team up with Eddie the elephant so that all three can cool off. Both titles show toddler-empowering vignettes; Maisy's Pool offers just enough plot and tension to appeal to rookie readers as well.

Horn Book Review
Based on short adventures from the film series starring the cheerful mouse, these slight books lack the charm of Cousins's pop-up books. Maisy fans will be drawn to the bright illustrations, but the simple stories seem incomplete. From HORN BOOK Spring 2000, (c) Copyright 2010.
