Maisy’s Snowy Day by Lucy Cousins

It’s snowing and Maisy and her friends are ready for wintery fun! 

In this charming story from the beloved Maisy’s First Experiences series, little readers follow Maisy as she wraps up warm, throws snowballs with Eddie and Cyril, races sleds with Charley and Tallulah, and builds a snow mouse in the sparkling park. Afterwards, everyone heads inside for a cosy mug of hot chocolate.

Bright, bold, and joyfully simple, this gentle tale perfectly captures the warmth of friendship and the wonder of snowy days — ideal for shared reading at home or in early childhood classrooms.

Why We (and Schools) Love It:

• Rich in seasonal vocabulary and action-based language, ideal for expanding young learners' English in context.
• Repetitive phrasing and simple sentence structure support pre-readers and emergent bilinguals.
• Themes of friendship, exploration, and sensory experiences make it perfect for winter inquiry units or language lessons.
