Maisy Goes on Vacation
PreS-K–Maisy packs her suitcase, walks to the station, and travels by train with her friend Cyril. After spending a day by the ocean, they return to their hotel room to sleep, but not before writing postcards and reading a story. The text consists of short declarative sentences and has two simple questions that can be answered by using the bold, gouache illustrations. This book gives children a preview of what can happen when they leave home to go on vacation and turns apprehension into anticipation.Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, AB, Canada© Copyright 2010.
