All of these books are very sweet with gentle conflicts and themes for friendship. Perfect for 5+ (though my 4yo listens, she does not yearn to hear the story and often loses interest). Some first graders will be able to read this series on their own.

Appropriate for: all ages!

My 5 year old daughter loves Purrmaids and so do I! I liked that the unicorn came back in this one. I wish the books had more pictures, but they're pretty frequent.

My kid liked this one. I didn’t mind it, it taught a good lesson in a fun way.

The purrmaids homework assignment is a scavenger hunt on the ocean floor to identify items that do not belong there. They must find items in the following categories: remove (garbage), recycle, and items that can be re-used. Cute little story that teaches that some items dumped in the ocenas can be harmful.

The purrmaids learn about recycling and have an adventure along the way.

I thought the book did a good job of showing how ocean pollution is bad without excessive telling. And it ties in nicely with the community clean up that’s coming up soon.

This had a cute story that talked a lot about recycling and keeping the environment clean in a fun way.

The lesson for today's generic kitten mermaid story is: ENVIRONMENTALISM.
