Review by School Library Journal Review
PreS-Simple stories for fans of the busy mouse. In the first book, Maisy's friend Charley helps her tidy up her house and is rewarded with a cupcake, while in the second, Maisy learns just how much is needed to quench the thirst of an elephant. In both titles the bright, colorful illustrations face a page of large-print text. Delightful books that will help reinforce the concepts of helping and sharing.-Wendy S.

Review by Horn Book Review
In [cf2]Cleans Up,[cf1] Charley the crocodile is rewarded with cupcakes for helping Maisy the mouse do housework. In [cf2]Lemonade,[cf1] Eddie the elephant drinks all of MaisyÆs lemonade, inspiring her to make a fresh batch--with EddieÆs assistance. Thanks to CousinsÆs light touch, both books manage to promote helpfulness and hard work without lecturing. The boldly colored illustrations will appeal to preschoolers. [Review covers these titles: [cf2]Maisy Cleans Up[cf1] and [cf2]Maisy Makes Lemonade[cf1].] From HORN BOOK Fall 2002, (c) Copyright 2010.
