Maisy's Twinkly Crinkly Fun Book

From Barnes & Noble

The happy and popular mouse shows readers twinkly, crinkly fun in this chipper touch-and-feel book! In five spreads that feature Lucy Cousins' vibrant artwork, Maisy shows readers "one soft and stripy zebra," "two crinkly puddles," "three silky penguins," and other textured objects. Cousins also makes sure to include other touch-and-feel elements along the way, as well as labeling each spread with the word spelled out and the appropriate numbers. With so much simple fun à la Maisy in one book, kids should have a sweet blast learning counting with these familiar friends.

Publishers Weekly

For those not yet ready for school but eager to learn, a smattering of interactive titles show off their bells and whistles. Lucy Cousins's omnipresent mouse counts from one to five in the paper-over-board, die-cut Maisy's Twinkly Crinkly Fun Book. Multiple textured accoutrements on each page include a bevy of furry animals, a gauzy tutu for Tallulah and a fuzzy sweater for Maisy. The straightforward text lists each number, followed by an action that creates a sound effect (e.g. "Splish-splash" as Maisy and Cyril engage in some "crinkly" puddle-jumping).
