On Our Second Copy

My daughter adores her second copy of this book; both times she slept with the "Secret Mermaid Handbook" under her pillow until the thrill faded. There's just something about mermaids that mesmerizes little girls--all that glitter I suppose. My daughter loves all the jewelry that goes with the story, though trust me--you will lose the press-on earrings very quickly. (Most of the other bits are pretty sturdy, however, particularly the little frame at the end.) The story itself is only so-so, but some of the little asides by the characters make it a bit more tolerable for the adult reading the story, and there are much worse books of this sort on the market. I know my 4 year old would give this 10 stars if she could.

A wonderful book for little girls to read over and over.

Every little girls should get this book. It is filled with beautifully illustrated pictures, very cute and an inviting story.
