Maisy Makes Lemonade is a straight forward plot that tells and shows Maisy and her friend making and drinking lemonade. The story beings with Maisy's elephant friend finishing the all lemonade she had prepared. Since Maisy has a hankering for some, she decides to make some. This time, she is more aware of her friend and without being rude, she makes the perfect amount for the both of them to have and be satisfied.
This is a wonderful story which teaches young readers the importance of sharing and caring for others. I think that the simplicity of the story makes it so that young ones understand such situations, i.e. finishing something sooner than expected, and learn how to resolve them in appropriate and polite ways. Again, Lucy Cousins is making a story involving content that is relevant to and interests an audience that she is aiming to engage with and depicts it in a playful, positive light.
