Maisy Takes a Bath (Maisy Mouse)

Amazonのエディトリアルレビューより

   おふろに入ろうとすると、ピンポーン！ よくあることですよね。はたしてメイシーちゃんは、ゆっくりおふろに入れるのかしら。おふろにお湯をためて、あわあわのもとを入れ、あひるのお人形を浮かべて、それから…「ピンポーン！」やって来たのはあひるのタルーラ。テニスがしたいらしく、脇にラケットをはさんでいます。メイシーちゃんは、タルーラに「あとでね」と答えました。ところが、ようふくをぬいで、あわぶくだらけのおふろに入ったとたん、またピンポーン！ やって来たのは、またタルーラです。でも、こんどのタルーラは、メイシーちゃんとあそぶ方法をちゃんと考えてきました。ほら見て、メイシーちゃんといっしょにタルーラも、おふろのなかで水あそび！

   子どもたちはみんな、メイシーちゃんがだいすき。ルーシー・カズンズのかわいいメイシーちゃんとおともだちのお話は、日常生活のちょっとした一コマを楽しく描いたものばかり。シリーズとして『Maisy Goes to Bed』（邦題『メイシーちゃん ベッドにはいります』）や『Happy Birthday Maisy』（邦題『おたんじょうびのメイシーちゃん』）がある。太字の黒文字や明るい色使いのイラストも、子どもたちに親しまれている理由のひとつ。(乳幼児～就学前児童）（Emilie Coulter, Amazon.com）

Amazon.com Review

It's one of those unwritten laws of life: run a bath, and the doorbell rings. For Maisy the mouse, bathtime looks like it may never happen. She runs the water, puts in some bubbles, drops in her rubber ducky, and... "Ding, Dong!" Maisy's friend Tallulah the duck is at the door, tennis racket in wing, wanting to play. Maisy asks her to come back later. But as soon as Maisy undresses and pops in her bubbly bath, the doorbell rings for a second time. It's Tallulah, coming to play again! And this time, it looks like Tallulah has a sure-fire plan to guarantee playtime with her friend. Soon, both Maisy and Tallulah are splashing and playing in the bath together.

Maisy is a big favorite among young readers everywhere. Lucy Cousins's sweet stories of this endearing mouse and her friends celebrate the simple pleasures of life: Maisy Goes to Bed and Happy Birthday Maisy. Thick black lettering and boldly outlined, brightly colored illustrations make this a tremendously appealing tale for early readers. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
