Maisy’s digger

Summary:

Maisy is using her digger to dig a hole. Find out what she and her friends are making!

Comment:

In this very simple narrative, Maisy digs a hole in the garden with her digger, while other friends help to turn it into a swimming pool. Though the narrative is simple, it is effective in unobtrusively undermining gender expectations through having Maisy occupied in an activity usually featuring male characters only.
