Nobody Likes Mermaids?
A mermaid tale to inspire giggles in mermaid lovers everywhere!
When a seahorse tries to convince a group of sea creatures why nobody likes mermaids, will it be the seahorse who learns something in the end? Come along on this imaginative, laugh out loud adventure and learn why nobody likes mermaids ( it’s because everybody loves them!).
This funny mermaid picture book gently addresses SEL concepts such as jealousy, accepting differences, comparisons, and being comfortable with yourself―in a fun, child-friendly way. A special nonfiction section filled with facts about seahorses is also included at the end of the book!
“Mermaids are so overrated. They can’t change colors, their tails blend in with the ocean, and they claim to be magical (but I’ve never seen them do anything!). Plus, they’re really hard to find. Seahorses are known to be great friends…There are so many reasons why nobody likes mermaids. Don’t believe me? Read this book and I’ll prove it to you!” - Seahorse

A little seahorse tells everyone swimming in the sea six reasons why he thinks mermaids are "overrated", so "nobody likes mermaids" - only to close with a surprising statement.
Kilpatrick's the little seahorse has just enough snarkiness as he counts the number of ways that seahorses are "way better" that when redeems himself at the end, readers will laugh along with the surprise twist.
Cartoonish illustrations by Germán Blanco were rendered with Photoshop and Illustrator using a Wacom Cintiq. While they are very flat-looking, the color and movement makes it pop.
This could be used as an easy reader or to teach ordinal numbers, comparisons, and humor.
An additional purchase for PreS-grade 2.

Another cute book in the series!
This is another cute book in the series, with some similarities to the others, but with enough differences and newness to add to your collection. This time, an adorable seahorse I takes us through the reasons not to like mermaids and why seahorses are better, with fun facts about seahorses sprinkled throughout and at the end. My 3.5 yo daughter loves the books in this series (also Unicorns and Easter Bunny)

Team Mermaids?
I absolutely love the “Nobody Likes” series by Karen Kilpatrick they are always a good read and make the kiddos laugh! The graphics and “reasons” are to cute. We enjoyed seeing all the different reasons and coming to the agreement we too LOVE mermaids. Or doesn’t?

Pre school
A simple graphic book for pre school children. Well, the graphic was good and the vocabulary was basic enough and of course not many text here.

What??? Nobody Likes Mermaids?
When I read the title of the book to my preschool class they all chimes in that they loved mermaids. I told them to hold on and let’s find out who doesn’t like them.
The children loved the colors and illustrations. I loved the fun facts as did the children.
We were all happy to find out that everyone actually loves mermaids.
I definitely recommend this book and so do my 3-5 year olds. After I read the book they were reading it again on my kindle app. This is a book I need in our class library!
