Illustrated Stories of Mermaids

Mermaid legends survive in coastal folklore all over the world, and this anthology brings a set of them together for readers of about five and upward. Underwater kingdoms, hidden lagoons and encounters between land and sea give the stories their settings, and full-colour artwork carries a large share of the atmosphere. The retellings are written for shared reading as easily as solo reading, so the book travels between a bedtime lap and a child reading quietly on their own. For the curious buyer: • A set of mermaid tales gathered into one illustrated volume • Full-colour artwork on a generous share of the pages • Language judged for readers of roughly five and above • Equally workable read aloud or read alone A good match for children drawn to sea stories and fantasy, and for anyone choosing a gift book, published by Usborne Books and stocked at Boipoka.
