Going to preschool is a lot more fun with a friend like Maisy to show you the ropes!Preschool for Maisy means a day filled with friends and things to do, from the time she hangs her coat on a special peg to the time she says good-bye. There’s painting and snack time, stories and nap time (and a bathroom break in between). Soon everyone’s ready to haul out the instruments and make some noise, then head outside for a turn at the sandbox or slide. In a bright, full-size storybook full of familiar scenes, this child-friendly look at a day in the life of a preschooler is one that newcomers and seasoned pros alike will be happy to share.From the Hardcover edition.

I bought several books to introduce the concept of preschool to my 2 1/2 yr old son before his first day. This was by far the best for his age. It is a simple, straightforward and positive intro to preschool activities. Some of the other books either seemed negative (e.g. child crying bc they didn't want to be at school) or too mature - more for older toddler/Kindergarten-aged school experience.My son has been asking to read this book by name and saying he wants to see Maisy at Preschool. Hopefully it will do the trick when he actually attends his first day!
One of the few books that doesn't present a "scary" or "I miss mommy" side to preschool. It just details out the day and talks about how much fun Maisy and her friends have. It was exactly what I was looking for. This was our first Maisy book and I'm thrilled with it, my daughter requests it all the time.
This is our first "Maisy" book and I've been very happy with it! I wanted a book about starting preschool that was positive in tone (not about being scared or lonely) and gave a basic picture of things that happen at school. Starts off something like, "Today is a great day for Maisy! She's going to preschool." I also like that it's not specifically about her FIRST DAY at school, but rather could be any day at preschool. The story is simple but shows all kinds of fun things that happen at school and ends with the school day ending. It also doesn't show the parents at all, which I think is nice for people with alternate pick-up or drop-off arrangements (i.e. nannies, grandparents, etc). Just perfect.
I bought this and a few other books to help prepare my 2-1/2 yr. son for preschool. It was the least helpful as the author did not address parents leaving/returning at all.
We got this along with My Preschool to prepare my daughter for preschool. She prefers the My Preschool book but I'm still rating this highly because I think it's ideal for a slightly younger audience. My daughter is older for her grade (she's almost 4 and just started 3's preschool, and has the attention for longer books), I think the Maisy book would be better for a younger 3 year old or even an older 2 year old who might be going to "school" (daycare). The Maisy book goes through things that many kids might do in a typical day at school. As one other reviewer pointed out, I liked that it wasn't specifically about the first day of school and might be interesting for her to read throughout the year.
The Maisy books work well because of their simple, bright illustrations and very matter-of-fact text that just tells a child what's going on. This one is no exception. It walks a child through what a normal preschool day looks like. No fuss, no introducing the idea that they might be scared, no discussion of how they might be alone- just Maisy doing her preschool routine. It's great. I use it in tandem with Llama Llama Misses Mama, but I have a shy kid who needs that kind of story and reassurance as well.
A nice book about preschool. Similar to the other Maisy books. Will give your child an idea of what activities might happen during the preschool day. Better for kids who go longer, as it talks about taking a nap at school.
Love this book about preschool. It was the only one I found that didn't talk about being anxious or scared. My 3 year old wasn't nervous about starting school so I didn't want to get him a book that might make him think there is something to be nervous about. This is great for that
