Book Reviews of Dear Mermaid
Book Review: For the mermaid believing little girl!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book had it all! My almost-five year old was giddy from the first page. The illustrations were sweet and like no others we have. The story was not deep but it was just what my little girl with an imagination as big as a room would need. She loved having real letters to pull out from the pages. And then the mermaid added extra stuff in with the letter like a "photo frame", "game board" and such. So at the end (spoiler alert here) when the mermaid gives the little girl a gold charm as a thank you I felt it in the envelope but didn't pull it out right away with the letter. I read the letter to her from the mermaid which said that she hoped the little girl, Holly, would love the charm she included to remember her by. OMG! My daughter sat up from bed, hid her eyes and exclaimed "is it really in there? Is it mommy? I can't look!" She flipped over and hid her face in her pillow while she giggled, "Tell me if it is there, mommy!" I pulled it out and told her to look. It wasn't fancy. But it was metal and she was THRILLED! She said it was amazing and asked if she could really keep it. I kind of wish it was kept on a chain attached to the book... I fear the day it is lost. But until then my little girl went to sleep having saltwater dreams of mermaids, charms, letters and happy times!
