Maisy Goes to Preschool: A Maisy First Experiences Book

My two year old was going to preschool/Mother's Morning Out program for two days and we wanted to prep her, so she would know what school was about. This is a great story for new to preschool toddlers! It's simple yet interesting, shows a lot of the day, positive (nobody cries at drop-off, pick-up), and colorful. Like how they have a potty and wash hands page to remind little ones there are potties at school to use. Would like a Mom picks up Maisy at the end, but we just add that part as it comforts her. We also have the Daniel Tiger book about school (there are two, one is good the other not so read reviews!) Glad we got this Maisy book!

The Maisy books work well because of their simple, bright illustrations and very matter-of-fact text that just tells a child what's going on. This one is no exception. It walks a child through what a normal preschool day looks like. No fuss, no introducing the idea that they might be scared, no discussion of how they might be alone- just Maisy doing her preschool routine. It's great. I use it in tandem with Llama Llama Misses Mama, but I have a shy kid who needs that kind of story and reassurance as well.

My oldest loves this book and it was a great precursor to him going to school (at 2 years old) after being at home with a nanny. It's very positive and the colors and pictures are engaging. It's a nice, short story and helps kids anticipate what school might be like. We still read it every now and then two years later!

This is my daughter's second Maisy book. Maisy Plays Soccer really helped her after her first soccer lesson didn't go so great. So as we were preparing for preschool at 3 1/2 years old, I researched a lot of "first day of school" books. I settled on this book and another book (Daniel Tiger Goes to School) because the stories were so positive. Prior to starting preschool, my daughter had been at home and wasn't used to being without me or my husband; she also didn't really like being around a lot of kids (one reason the first soccer lesson didn't go so well). So we were really worried about how she'd do at preschool. I started reading this book to her over the summer before school started. As I mentioned, the story is really positive since it focuses on the fun things kids do at school. It helped give her an idea of how a typical day at school would be but without harping on the scary parts, i.e., it doesn't talk about separation anxiety or being left at school without your parents. I truly believe this book had a positive impact on my daughter. Her first day of preschool went so well I couldn't believe it!

I have purchased many Maisy books for my 2yo grand-daughter and she loves them. The characters are appealing, the glossy pages are of good quality, and the storylines are always interesting, and in this case (along with many others) educational.As an Australian resident, I do incur shippimg charges on my Amazon Maisy purchases, but through research I have found that by bundling a few in one delivery, they still arrive more attractively priced than at retail outlets locally. In addition, sometimes the book in question, such as this one, has not been released or is not available locally.

This is nice book...It tells everything that happens in school in detail but in very plain manner.If you just wan to make them aware about whats going to happen in school or preschool then you can buy it but it does not involve or hint emotions they have to go through..fun or sad..anything.But this books lovely colors ,graphics and animal playing as characters.You can definitely go ahead and buy it if you want to make them ready for routine they would have to follow in school. Bright colors will be pleasant for them to see.It is interesting book.

Super cute! I love that it's a book about full day preschool. Would buy again!

I bought a whole bunch of recommended books to prepare my 2 year old for "school.". This is one of my favorites.I think this is intended more for a 3-4 year old, but it's still is helpful for a younger (2) crowd that might be starting nursery school as well.The activities described in the book are well chosen, described, and segregated (by page).Eg, maisy arrives and sees her friends and her teacher, mr. peacock (my son now LOVES peacocks because of this book), on one page (I add "bye mom, see you later!").They then paint (one page), go outside (one page), eat (one page), do stories (one page), nap (one page), go outside (one page) and leave (they say goodbye to mr. peacock and friends (and I add "hi mom!" one page). Each activity on a different page, and all relevant for a 2-5 year old set.My kid has noticed different things as we've continued to read it (eg, at first, "Maisy paint", then a few months later "Maisy is messy!").

Highly recommended

Très bon livre en anglais pour appréhender le fait d'aller à l'école (ou crèche), ce qui s'y passe et la fin de la journée quand l'enfant retrouve ses parents. Je recommande

This is a fantastic book to get your little one excited (rather than nervous) about beginning pre-school. It goes through all the little activities they do at pre-school and is very sweet.

Bought this for my 4 year old grandson who’s about to start kinder. I’m sure it helped to give him an idea of what to expect, apart from one page that shows kids taking a nap at kinder/preschool. However, that was easily explained. He loves and has many Maisy and friends books and enjoyed the large, colourful illustrations. Packaged well and arrived quickly. Thanks

2歳の息子がとても気に入っていて、毎日読んで！と持ってきます。難しい表現はなく、メイシーちゃんのプリスクールでの楽しいお話です。
