Maisy Goes on a Plane by Lucy Cousins - ESSENTIAL

Cousins, Lucy  Maisy Goes on a Plane  Candlewick Press, 2015.  $12.99  PICTURE BOOK  Content: G.   

Maisy is going on a trip to visit her friend Ella.  She goes through airport security, boards the plane and while flying she uses the restroom and has a snack.  She arrives at her destination and is excited to see Ella.   

This is a simple and helpful explanation for little people who have never flown on an airplane before.  It reminded me of a Bernstein Bear book because it helps explain a new experience in a simple and understandable way.  As always in the Maisy books, the illustrations are bright and exciting.  Maisy makes new friends on the plane and has a safe and fun trip.   

PREK-ESSENTIAL, EL (K-3)-ADVISABLE.
