PS
In Cleans Up, Charley the crocodile is rewarded with cupcakes for helping Maisy the mouse do housework. In Lemonade, Eddie the elephant drinks all of Maisy's lemonade, inspiring her to make a fresh batch--with Eddie's assistance. Thanks to Cousins's 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: Maisy Cleans Up and Maisy Makes Lemonade.]
