2.5 Stars

The art work was very pretty (except for the octopus - he was very cursed)

Story was eh? Not sure what I was really expecting though. Hopefully the others are better. (Note: they are!)

Read this a lot as a kid.

I think this one might have been more my sister’s than mine? She was more into mermaids and I have little memory of this one specifically.

Note: apparently this is a sequel?

This is another charming story from the talented Shirley Barber (still love her even though I'm an adult now). As soon as I read it, I felt like that little girl enchanted with her stories as I did as a child all over again. It's not as a good as her other ones I felt though, it was cute, but I felt it lacked the magic of her 'fairy stories' and I felt it was too short? Overall, I loved it and it's a favourite now. I have only just discovered this book and was happy to get a copy. I think this book is a sequel to 'The Mermaid Princess'?


Hoping someone will upload a photo for this book ( I can't! :( )
