PreS-Another well-done entry in an already popular series. Maisy the mouse travels to and throughout London and shows readers about all of the sights one would hope to see. The accurate illustrations are bold and easy for a child to relate to. The text includes many important vocabulary words and would serve as a great starting point for a conversation about traveling. This book is a terrific centerpiece for a lesson in geography, continents, famous places, or great cities. Cousins captures the spirit and energy of exploring a city and makes it palatable for even a very young child. VERDICT This is a fun and rewarding title and is perfect for introducing geography or preparation for travel.--Shannan Hicks, J.S. Clark Elementary School, LA
