When Maisy and friends have a special day for races and competitions, it's not about winning or losing -- the fun is in playing the games.

Join Maisy and her pals for Field Day! First is the egg-and-spoon race (oops, Eddie's egg is a little too wobbly). No problem, there are lots more games to play -- a wheelbarrow race, a three-legged race, and even a get-dressed-up-silly race. When it's time to play ringtoss, Eddie's trunk comes in handy, and in the relay race, Maisy and Charley run as fast as they can. Last of all comes a great big game of tug-of-war, where both teams fall down laughing at the end!

Toddler-PreS-Preschoolers' favorite mouse participates in her first field day at school. Maisy and her friends split into the red and the blue teams. They warm up and compete in a variety of outdoor races. After a snack, they finish with a game of tug-of-war, and Maisy's team wins. The friends express concerns that children will empathize with, like wanting to win and needing a break. Cousins's cartoon illustrations are as recognizable as ever, with thick, black outlines and bright, primary colors depicting Maisy and her friends in gym shorts, sneakers, and sweatbands. VERDICT A new and worthy addition to the series.-Mindy Hiatt, Salt Lake County Library Services © Copyright 2016. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
