Reviews

[Dolly]

Cute and colorful, sparkly Touchy-Feely book about Mermaids. Simple narration and big board book pages that have lots to see and touch. Fun book for little kids.

[Heather]

A very pretty book. Lots of sparkle, lots of shine. A girl book for sure. With a more substantial story than some young one books.

[Bea]

A rip-off of Disney's mermaids, it offers nothing new and ignores hundreds of years of mermaid mythology. The pictures are bland and the story line boring.
