A very cute little book with an important message to learn. Would recommend to anyone thinking of trying this out. Will be reading others by this author.

Nice colours but overall a Disappointing book.
It feels like some pages are disjointed, rushed or missing as the story doesn’t quite make sense. For example, look at these consecutive pages talking about the seaweed lasso and then the giant clam without explaining where these even came from? As if they randomly spawned from nowhere and kids are expected to understand what happened?! And then you just never seen the mermaid’s face - is it that difficult to put a face on her?! Nice colours but overall a Disappointing book.

*How to Catch a Mermaid* by Adam Wallace is such a delightful children's book! My daughter (4 years old) was instantly captivated by the vibrant illustrations and the fun, imaginative storyline. The idea of trying to catch a mermaid is such a creative twist, and it really sparks their curiosity and excitement. The rhyming text is engaging and easy to follow, making it a great read-aloud book. My daughter loved the different clever traps the characters come up with, and they always laugh at the surprises along the way. It’s a perfect blend of adventure, humor, and fantasy. The artwork is absolutely stunning—colorful and whimsical, bringing the magical underwater world to life. It's also great for encouraging creative thinking, my daughter's brainstorming her own way to "catch a mermaid." This book has become a bedtime favorite! Overall, *How to Catch a Mermaid* is a charming and entertaining read for young children. I highly recommend it for any little ones who love mermaids, adventure, or just a fun, lighthearted story!

But not one picture of the mermaid. Only her tail! Children disappointed.
