Maisy's plan to have a quiet read is put to the challenge by her giggling friends in this ode to the pleasures of the local library.

Maisy likes going to the library.
She loves to read a book in a nice, quiet place.

Today, Maisy wants to read a book about fish, but she can only find books about birds or tigers. So she explores some of the other things to do in the library, like using the computer, making copies, listening to music, or looking at fish in the aquarium. Aha! Finally Maisy finds a sparkly book all about fish. But just as she settles into a corner to read, along come Cyril, Tallulah, Eddie, and Ostrich — and they all have noisier activities on their minds!
"The vivid colors coupled with simple line drawings of the engaging characters are designed to capture a toddler’s eye, offering old friends and newcomers something to check out." —Kirkus Reviews
Lucy Cousins is the creator of the beloved Maisy series. She is also the author-illustrator of the widely acclaimed Yummy: Eight Favorite Fairy Tales, a New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Children’s Book of the Year, as well as A Good Place; Splish, Splash, Ducky!; I’m the Best; Hooray for Birds!; Hooray for Fish!; and a picture book series about Little Fish.
