Book Review by Bob Walch
This latest Maisy book
includes a medieval castle that folds out of the back of the book and
some play pieces that feature all the characters dressed up in palace
finery.
There is a minimal
narrative in Maisy's Castle that precedes the pop-out castle and the publisher did
include two pockets to store the play figures but, although a pretty
decent size when open, young children will find that this castle is a
bit difficult to play with.
And if the child isn’t
careful, the castle will be all but impossible to fold back into the
book. You just might wish to set it up, lock the walls in place, and
leave it folded out.
Our family loves the Maisy
series, but this one didn’t do it for us. It has also been receiving
very mixed reviews, so check it out before making a purchase!
I love these posts on children's books. Thanks so much.
