Maisy and Cyril catch a train to the seaside where they enjoy a fun-filled holiday. They have lots of fun on the beach and at the cafe, write postcards to their friends and finally sleep a peaceful night at their hotel (after bouncing on the beds, of course). Each of the First Experiences series describes a common first experience within Maisy's familar and comforting world, offering a reassuring picture of something that might be new or less familiar.
