Overview
Introduce your toddler or preschooler to the world beyond the front door with the Maisy First Experiences 12 Books Collection Set (Set 2) by Lucy Cousins. Each brightly illustrated paperback follows lovable Maisy Mouse and her friends Charley, Tallulah, Cyril, and Eddie through a brand-new milestone moment, from a first camping trip to a first plane ride. Perfectly sized for little hands and read-aloud sessions, this set turns everyday firsts, and a few extra-special occasions, into gentle, reassuring stories young children will want to revisit again and again.

About the Books
Lucy Cousins built the Maisy First Experiences series to walk young readers gently through moments that can feel big to a small child. In this twelve-book collection, Maisy camps out under the stars with her friends, discovers the library is anything but quiet, and explores a bustling city for the weekend. She visits a museum full of dinosaurs and old toys, boards a plane for the very first time to see her friend Ella, and gets competitive at her very first sports day. The set also follows Maisy through a hospital visit, a trip to see a show, the arrival of a new pet, a joyful wedding celebration, a Chinese New Year festival, and a cozy snowy day at home. Each story is told through Cousins' signature bold, thick-outlined illustrations and simple, rhythmic text that toddlers and preschoolers can follow along with easily, whether they're hearing the story for the first time or the fiftieth. The familiar cast of friends returns throughout, giving young readers a comforting sense of continuity even as the setting changes from book to book. Because every story centers on a relatable "first," the collection doubles as a gentle conversation-starter for parents preparing a child for their own upcoming milestones. Sturdy paperback construction and vibrant full-color artwork on every page make this a set built for repeat reading and story time after story time.
