About This Book
When your toddler thrives on routine or needs a gentle way to understand the predictable flow of a day, this book is a perfect choice. 'At Home with Maisy' follows the cheerful little mouse through her simple and familiar daily activities, from waking up and eating breakfast to playing with toys, having a bath, and getting tucked into bed. The story's emotional core is one of comfort, security, and finding joy in the small, everyday moments. With its bold, bright illustrations and simple text, it is perfectly suited for children ages 1 to 3, serving as an excellent tool for establishing new routines or providing a calming, predictable story at naptime or bedtime.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely focused on positive, safe, and universally familiar daily routines. It is a secular and comforting narrative without any conflict or challenging themes.
Ideal Reader
A toddler, approximately 18 months to 3 years old, who is just beginning to understand daily sequences and routines. It is especially effective for a child who needs a calming, predictable story before nap or bedtime, or a child who struggles with transitions between activities.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. For maximum benefit, a parent can engage their child by relating Maisy's activities back to the child's own day. For example, 'Maisy is brushing her teeth, just like you do!'. The parent is trying to establish or reinforce a daily routine (morning, bedtime, etc.). They may have a child who is showing resistance to specific steps like brushing teeth or getting dressed, and they need a positive, third-party model. The parent might also be looking for a simple, quiet book that can help their child wind down.
