Maisy, the ever cheerful white mouse (with beige ears) who has now been ‘going’ for 25 years is getting ready for bed. In a lift the flap and pull the tabs board book we help her have a bedtime drink, go to the loo (tempting green toilet paper to pull), wash her hands and then, into bed with her bedtime book. Like all the other Maisy Books this one gives many opportunities for discussion about the ‘reader’s own experiences.
