Disney's The Little Mermaid is a very good book and children will love to read and hear about the many adventures and struggles Ariel gets into.

Little Mermaid Running Press version is excellent!

Storywise, this is probably the best of all the printed retellings of the Disney movie "The Little Mermaid." It's concise, explains the characters' feelings with a depth other "children's books" rarely do, and sticks very closely to the movie's storyline. It's also a very well-constructed book, sturdy despite its small size. Excellent stocking stuffer and actually a delight to read. Very high print quality; the reproduction of the movie artwork is superb
