Customer Reviews

Great illustrations, but a bit abstract for a 3 year old.

We love the Maisy books, videos. This book is great because it's big and the illustrations are equally grand. The concept was a little hard to understand from the pictures though - that she is dreaming - so silly things are pictured. Panda and Maisy are mermaids, a teapot and teacup have legs, a pencil is a butterfly, etc. My son was a little perplexed at first, and then just laughed. I give it a 4 because I'm not sure he understood the absurdist images are dreams.

Can't go wrong with Maisy

I can't recommend Lucy Cousins enough. Maisy is wonderful. I have a 4 year old and 2 year old who were both introduced to Maisy around 1. They both to this day love Maisy and her friends. Maisy's Rainbow Dream is great. I also highly recommend Maisy Big, Maisy Small. Peace and Enjoy

Maisy's Rainbow Dream

My son loves this book!!! He is 16 months old and lights up everytime I mention Maisy. What a wonderful, simple story. The illustrations are bright & fun.

Very Cute Book. One of my Little cousin's fave!!! :-)

The illustrations are so cute painted by pastels and surrounded with think black lines. The book uses all the colors of the rainbow throughout the different paintings, but introduces one color of the rainbow at a time. The book teaches a wonderful concept about colors of the rainbow, yet it also introduces names of objects and things like "clock", "fish", and "bee" while exploring the dream of cute little Maisy. The plot is "simple, clearly developed, and brief" which makes it easy to read and fun at the same time.
