   • bioText:

     Lucy Cousins is one of today's most acclaimed author-illustrators of children's books. Her unique titles fascinate babies, toddlers, and preschoolers with their child-like simplicity, bold outlines, and bright colors. The engaging adventures of characters such as Maisy reflect the familiar experiences that young children have every day. "Maisy does things that children all over the world do," Lucy Cousins says of her superstar mouse. "The way she dresses, the way she acts, are typical of children all over the world."
     With Maisy appearing in more than one hundred books as well as her own TV show in the U.S., Lucy Cousins continues to create new characters. Where does the prolific author-illustrator—mother of four children—find the energy? "I'm quite disciplined," she says of her productivity. "If I´m having an 'ideas' day, I just sit at my desk and draw and write until I feel something happening—though I admit that this is usually helped by a cup of tea, some lively music, and an abundance of sunshine." As for outside inspiration, she says she's sometimes influenced by the work of other artists, especially if those artists are children. Says the author-illustrator, "I get more pleasure and inspiration from walking around a primary school than from any art gallery."
     Lucy Cousins lives in Hampshire, England.

     December 9, 2013
     In this addition to the Maisy First Experiences line of books, Cousins’s mouse heroine and friends walk readers through the basics of catching a flick on the big screen. After settling on a film and stopping at the concession stand, Maisy and company give their tickets to an ostrich and settle into their seats. Cousins briskly defuses potential pitfalls that include a fear of the dark, the need to stay quiet, and the call of nature (“They go as fast as they can. And wash their hands very quickly.... They don’t want to miss anything”). Cousins’s vivid, ever-cheery artwork and economical writing continue to offer a welcoming and reassuring introduction to reader “firsts.” Ages 3–7.

     PreS-Gr 2-Maisy heads to the multiplex with her friends Charley the Crocodile, Tallulah the Chick, Cyril the Squirrel, and Eddie the Elephant. With so many films to choose from, it's hard to decide what to see. They select the one with their favorite movie star. After purchasing their tickets and snacks, they enter the theater. Even though they all want to sit in different places, they each find the right seat. Cyril is afraid of the dark and ends up holding Maisy's hand. Eddie is hushed by the crowd when he talks out loud. Tallulah and others need to use the restroom in the middle of the show. These are realistic situations that children will encounter firsthand when going to the cinema. After the movie, the pals discuss their favorite parts and then wonder what they can do. See it again, of course. Familiar primary-color gouache illustrations depict the action. Dark font against the dusk of the theater backgrounds makes it difficult to read the text on those pages, but white font is used when the theater is completely dark. Simple and true to the Maisy style, minus the lift flaps and pull tabs. An appealing addition.-Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX

     It's time for a little woodpecker to learn how to peck: "Now, off you go, / my little one. / Practice hard / and have some fun." And peck it does, first outside then in a house, pecking everything in sight while actual holes accumulate on the thick pages. The rhythmic text is bouncy and, as always, Cousins's illustrations are bold and recognizable.
