ছোট্ট মিষ্টি একটা গল্প!

সাগরতলের বুদ্ধিমতী মৎস্যকন্যা কিকি কোরাল আর তার দুই প্রাণের বন্ধু ইকো এবং শেলী মিলে হারিয়ে যাওয়া ছোট্ট একটি মেরু ভালুক ছানাকে কিভাবে বাড়ি ফিরে যেতে সাহায্য করে আর দুষ্টু মেয়ে পার্ল কিভাবে তাতে বাঁধ সাধে তা নিয়ে লেখা।

আরও আছে মজার মজার ছড়া।
হাইকু, এক্রস্টিক আর চিনকুইন ছড়া আর মিষ্টি একটা মারমেইড সং!

আর চমৎকার সব ইলাস্ট্রেশান!
কাভারটা এতো সুন্দর!! ইচ্ছে করছিল ছুঁয়ে দেখি। সফটকপি পড়ার কারণে সেটা সম্ভব হলোনা।

It was a story about a polar bear lost on a ice. Then the ice was almost melted!

This book was awesome. The friends in it are working together to help a baby polar bear get back to his mother. The story made me feel good because the mermaids showed kindness and were able to use their creativity to overcome problems. I totally recommend this book.

Lucy says this is a 5-star book “because there was a polar bear and I never seen one!”

Mom would rate differently! This was fairly insipid. But reading aloud to Lucy is a joy no matter what.

I like this book because it has interesting details, and a lot of action. This series of books are one of my favorites. Kiki, Shelly, and Echo want to help a baby poler bear. Pearl wants to stop them! Can these three
girls help this poler bear?

Written by my daughter, eight years old.


Well, I polar bear gets lost. A mermaid named Kiki helps the polar bear find his home. My favorite part of the book was when the polar bear find Kiki. The book was exciting, inspiring and entertaining. I give it five stars.
