Review Detail

MAISY'S SNOWY DAY is a cute Maisy story about all the fun of playing in the snow with friends. Maisy wakes up in the morning to a surprise - it has snowed! She feeds the birds and grabs her sled to meet her friends at the park. Once there, they make a snow Maisy, throw snowballs, make a snow fort, and race sleds down the hill. At the end of the day, they head inside for some hot chocolate!

What I loved: Maisy is such a great character for toddlers and preschoolers. With good friends that make recognizable characters, this is a great series for young learners to recognize and explore across stories. The simplified language explains the story in terms that little ones can easily understand. Bold colors and simple illustrations bring the book to life for little ones to explore. This is a delightful winter story that brings all the joy of snow to life through Maisy and her friends. The story spends a day with Maisy as she sees and enjoys the snow, plays with friends, and finally finishes the day cozy and warm. This is a very comforting and cute wintery picture book.

What left me wanting more: Throughout the book, the font remains black, and while the style is okay, the color is very hard to read on a few pages with darker color backgrounds (such as a darker blue and green) that makes it difficult to read in low light, such as at bedtime. It would have been helpful to switch to white font on these pages to improve readability.

Final verdict: MAISY'S SNOWY DAY is a cute and brightly colored adventure in wintertime with the beloved characters, Maisy and friends. Toddlers and preschoolers are such to enjoy this read!
