To not know whether 'Maisy' is a male or a female mouse...?

[DabblingInDisaster]

You know, from the books... its not really gender specific......

I call 'her' a 'she' because of the name.... but 'she' is usually wearing 'boys' clothes... at least the duck wears a tutu occassionally....

[Botbot]

We've got a Maisy book in which she's wearing a dress - it's called Maisy Loves You.

I like her androgynousness too. Can't bear pinkness and glitteriness, so I approve.

[dilbertina]

Maisy's a girl
Miffy's a boy
end of.

[Marina]

I've always loved Maisy for this reason. She is a balm in the face of all the High School Musical/Bratz etc twaddle which we are facing down now dd is nearly five
Lucy Cousins is fab. We love Zaza's Baby Brother too

[mollymawk]

Nooo surely Miffy is a girl?

[lazarou]

What about peppa pig?

[MissKubelik]

err Maisy is a girls' name so she is female.

Just because she doesn't wear pink frilly dresses doesn't mean she can't be a girl mouse.... my 3 year old is definitely female and hardly ever wears skirts and very little pink. Long may it continue!

[paolosgirl]

Miffy deffo a girl - no question

[DabblingInDisaster]

peppa pig is very gender specific though.. but they only have ONE set of clothes... pooor piggies!!

[MissKubelik]

agree Marina, Lucy Cousins is great. Hooray For Fish! is our favourite

[cheesesarnie]

Maisy's a girl
Miffy's a boy
peppa pig's a girl

i like the no frills etc of it all.

[DabblingInDisaster]

They want you to think cos 'she' is called Maisy 'she' is a girl.... but its NOT THAT CLEAR! lol

[littlepinkpixie]

Maisy is a girl
But I thought Miffy was a girl too?

[clutteredup]

We have a book called maisy likes driving her car - girl.
Peppa pig the same, the proliferation of pink suggests it although her brother george might prfer it
miffy - boy, always was when we were children many years ago.
I think i agree therefore with other posters - SORTED

Miffys a girl thats why in the books it says she.

[missblythe]

Miffy is a girl! She wears dresses! And is a girl!

From Miffy Goes To Stay:

"Miffy was thinking as she sat
when will the journey end?
she looked outside and at the stop
she saw her little friend."

See?

[Botbot]

Yep, Miffy a girl (have just consulted a book).

Snuffy, however, is a boy. And a dog.

[Mercy]

Maisy wears girl clothing from time to time.

I love some of the Dick Bruna books. We have one called 'My Vest is White' and a few others.

[cheesesarnie]

miffy used to be a boy.maybe miffy had a sex change?

[clutteredup]

But miffy used to be a BOY in the 1970s - WHAT HAPPENED

[nappyaddict]

actually miffy started life as a boy but then became a girl. Miffy became a girl after the author decided that he wanted to draw a dress and not trousers on his rabbit.

[mollymawk]

Anyway the weird one in the Maisy books is that bird (forgotten the name) who does this:
Rings doorbell, Maisy comes to door and says, no I can't come to play, I'm in the bath. Bird goes away. Comes back, rings doorbell again, Maisy says again no I'm still in the bath. Bird ignores this, goes upstairs, takes off clothes, gets in Maisy's bath.
Our children are being taught to have no social skills. Tsk.

I have my original Miffy books so I just went to look at them. Theyre over 30 years old. They say she
