About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to nurture your toddler's emerging sense of generosity or help them prepare for a special occasion like a birthday or holiday. It is an ideal choice for children who are beginning to show interest in 'giving' and 'sharing' but still need concrete, tactile examples of what those abstract concepts look like in practice. Through the familiar and cheery lens of Maisy the mouse, young readers follow along as she selects and sends thoughtful gifts to her various animal friends. The book emphasizes the joy of thinking about others and the excitement of surprise. With its sturdy flaps and interactive elements, it transforms the act of reading into a physical practice of discovery and kindness, making it a perfect tool for modeling pro-social behavior in a playful, low-pressure way.
