Maisy's Favourite Animals

by
Lucy Cousins
Illustrator: Lucy Cousins

A small-sized board book, perfect for little hands, from a fabulous new collection of chunky board board books starring Maisy and her friends.

This is a good introduction to animal names - adults and children will enjoy making the appropriate animal noises to accompany them! - as well as to Maisy herself, one of the best-loved of all pre-school characters.

Lucy Cousins' trademark bold and colourful drawings make these books a real joy.

Lucy Cousins

Maisy, the famous mouse, 'drew herself' one day, when Lucy was doodling various animals on a piece of paper, looking for inspiration, and the first Maisy book was published soon after Lucy left college. Lucy won the Bologna Ragazzi Non-fiction Prize 1997 for Maisy's House and has been Highly Commended for the National Art Illustration Award 1997 for Za Za's Baby Brother, images from which were also used in a publicity campaign by Tommy's, the baby's charity. Jazzy in the Jungle won the Smarties Book Prize in 2002. Hooray for Fish!, published in 2005, is a celebration of life under the sea.
