Bookroo's summary

Maisy the mouse embarks on an exciting city adventure with her friend Charley. From navigating bustling sidewalks and noisy traffic to exploring a giant toy store and savoring pizza, every moment is a new discovery. As they ride escalators and subways, the city becomes a playground of endless possibilities. Will Maisy and Charley find their way through the urban maze and enjoy their visit to the fullest? Join them on this vibrant journey and see the city through their curious eyes.

From the publisher

It’s another first for Maisy! The intrepid mouse is off to the big city with Charley. A perfect story for young children going on an urban adventure. (Ages 3 and up) Broom, vroom, beep! Maisy and Charley are in the city visiting their friend Dotty, and there are many things to get used to - noisy traffic, enormous buildings, and sidewalks so crowded they have to walk very slowly (all the better for looking in store windows). Riding the escalator and elevator - and hanging on tight in the subway - are almost as much fun as exploring the giant toy store and eating pizza in a cafe. Even the playground is busy in the city!
