“Maisy’s Moon Mission” is a board book addition to Lucy Cousins’ very successful Maisy the Mouse series. Maisy becomes an astronaut and travels to the moon in this book with tabs to slide and wheels to turn. With help from the reader, Maisy’s rocket blasts off! Her trip to the moon and back, while short (only about 8 pages), is filled with brightly colored illustrations and lots of activity in each scene. There are no flaps to lift; only pull tabs and wheels to turn, so this book should last a bit longer than most “lift-the-flap” books in your library collection.

Aimed at kids age birth to three, “Maisy’s Moon Mission” is a good purchase for your board book collection, or for any young child who particularly likes space and interactive books.
