Synopsis
We're all crazy for Maisy! This time, everyone's favorite mouse is joined by Charley on a trip to the grocery store. Preschoolers can follow the duo as they buy lots of goodies for lunch.
Children's Literature
Like Old Mother Hubbard, Charley's cupboard is bare, but in this case it is an empty refrigerator. He and Maisy head out for the store on their bicycles. They buy some really healthy foods¾fruit, juice, cheese and yogurt. After paying for their groceries, they load it all up and head home and then have a delicious lunch. A very simple presentation of an experience most children will share with a parent or caregiver and also a subtle message about healthy foods. 2001, Candlewick Press, $9.99 and $3.29. Ages 1 to 4.
