Maisy's Nature Walk
Maisy's Nature Walk
By Lucy Cousins
It's a beautiful day, and Maisy is setting out on a nature walk. Little readers can pull the tabs to see a yellow flower unfurl, a snail poke out of its shell, a duckling hatch, a frog leap, and more. This Maisy First Science Book also prompts children to find treasures such as a chrysalis and a dragonfly. What better way to welcome the spring?
