Summary

From woolly mammoths to rocket ships, the marvels of a museum are more fun to explore when Maisy leads the way.

On a rainy-day visit to the museum, Maisy and her friends explore everything from dinosaurs to a moon exhibit, from vintage vehicles to a giant dollhouse to the food exhibit. There's always something new (or old) to see at a museum, and for little readers, it's good to have a friend like Maisy along for the adventure.

School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 1-In this installment in the series, the mouse and her friends spend a rainy day at a natural history museum. On each spread, the familiar characters describe what they find in each exhibit. Cousins's flat-color gouache illustrations outlined in heavy black are friendly and familiar for young children and the explanations of what one might find in a museum can spark interest. A few terms, such as "marvel," "vintage," and "exhibit," will have to be explained to the youngest listeners.-Lynne Mattern, Robert Seaman School, Jericho, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

Booklist Review

The latest in the Maisy First Experiences series brings the little mouse and her friends to the museum, where plenty of interesting things to do and see await. There's the reconstructed dinosaur to gawk at, a vintage car to sit in, and a rocket ship where one can imagine a trip into space. Rich colors provide a background for all the simply lined fun. As always with the Maisy books, the combination of minimalism and warmth is what makes this so appealing. Good to read aloud before a first museum trip (although since this museum cuts across standard collection lines, kids may need to be told that everything on the pages might not be in the halls).--Cooper, Ilene Copyright 2008 Booklist
