In this story Maisy the mouse and Tallulah are very hot so Maisy has the idea to get out the little pool. After they blow it up and fill it with water they realize that there is a whole in it.

Personal Response
I absolutely love the Maisy Mouse books. I think they are great books for young children that are learning to enjoy reading. This particular book would be a great one to read during the summer. It is a very cute story where Maisy encounters some problems and is able to come up with conclusions. Very young children learn the basics of problem solving in this book. I also absolutely love the illustrations and the colors. They provide for a very relaxed happy mood.

Potential Problems
I couldn't find any potential problems in this story.
