Book Overview
Lucy Cousins outdoes herself with this big, bold, brilliant visit to Maisy's dream world-a kaleidoscopic journey filled with familiar friends and fantastical creatures. Maisy is fast asleep in her little bed. Suddenly a dream begins inside her head. When Maisy dreams that she's going on a journey, it's only natural that all her friends come along, too. Maisy dreams about a red ladybug, and there's Charley flying by with a ladybug umbrella. She dreams of a big orange fish, and she and Panda grab a fin and float along. Soon things get even more amazing-a turtle with a shell made of watermelon, a winged clock with the legs of a bird. And when Maisy finally reaches Rainbowland-well, it must be seen to be believed! Little fans will be reassured to see that Maisy's dreams are much like theirs-incredible journeys to places where the everyday world is transformed by the wondrous workings of the imagination.

Great illustrations, but a bit abstract for a 3 year old.

We love the Maisy books, videos. This book is great because it's big and the illustrations are equally grand. The concept was a little hard to understand from the pictures though - that she is dreaming - so silly things are pictured. Panda and Maisy are mermaids, a teapot and teacup have legs, a pencil is a butterfly, etc. My son was a little perplexed at first, and then just laughed. I give it a 4 because I'm not sure he understood the absurdist images are dreams.
Can't go wrong with Maisy

I can't recommend Lucy Cousins enough. Maisy is wonderful. I have a 4 year old and 2 year old who were both introduced to Maisy around 1. They both to this day love Maisy and her friends. Maisy's Rainbow Dream is great. I also highly recommend Maisy Big, Maisy Small. Peace and Enjoy
Maisy's Rainbow Dream

My son loves this book!!! He is 16 months old and lights up everytime I mention Maisy. What a wonderful, simple story. The illustrations are bright & fun.

The illustrations are so cute painted by pastels and surrounded with think black lines. The book uses all the colors of the rainbow throughout the different paintings, but introduces one color of the rainbow at a time. The book teaches a wonderful concept about colors of the rainbow, yet it also introduces names of objects and things like "clock", "fish", and "bee" while exploring the dream of cute little Maisy. The plot is "simple, clearly developed, and brief" which makes it easy to read and fun at the same time.
