Brief Description:
There’s no such thing as mermaids… right? When a little girl is told by
her sister that mermaids aren’t real, she doesn’t believe it for a second.
To prove her sister wrong, she makes a list of places to search, checks it
twice, and sets off to prove her wrong. From the lake to the park to the
beach, she looks for mermaids everywhere. Could her sister be right? Or are
mermaids hiding just out of sight? With an engaging search-and-find element
on every page, this hilarious story is packed full of fun for kids to
enjoy. The bouncy, rhyming text makes for the perfect read-aloud and Katy
Halford’s adorable art gives kids plenty to explore. A hilarious new
mythical tale that’s sure to become a family favorite!
Target Age Group: Ages 4 to 6, Grades P to 1
DK Paul –
“There’s No Such Thing As Mermaids” by Lucy Rowland and Katy Halford would be perfect for a child at that magical age between peek-a-boo and gotta see it to believe it. The rhyming verse along with the art is delightful. There are a lot of repeat phrases to help learn reading. And not to spill the “mermaids beans” , but this girl doesn’t look to closely, I saw one on almost every page. Kids will delight and have fun with this adorable picture book. And the glitter on the cover makes it iridescent. I suggest, put the book away and bring it out again every few weeks to keep the content fresh. Make up a “find the objects game” to add to the fun.
