Book Reviews of Mermaid Sister
Book Review: Bedtime Reading For A Child With A Little Brother
Summary: 5 Stars
As a little brother, who I'm sure was probably viewed as a bit of a nuisance to my older siblings, I probably am not the best person to give advice like this. Yet, after reading this book, I expect a few older sisters might understand what it is like to be a part of a family where people have to learn to accept their siblings - their differences, their mannerisms, and the like.
That said, Fraser's picture book about a young girl who 'hires' a mermaid to be her sister is very charming and cute. Shelly is fed up with her little brother Gordy, and decides to toss a bottle into the ocean, hoping to find someone who will be her 'sister' - apply onshore, the ad read. Well, the applicant turns out to be Coral, a mermaid with a little brother of her own.
Both girls, despite their differences, have fun together sharing peanut butter and jellyfish sandwiches and painting each other's toenails (or fins.) But Shelly learns that she can be upset with people close to her and still be friends, something that although isn't presented in the text remains a very true and real aspect of life.
This story is perfect for a young girl who found out about a new addition to their family, or even just any girl who loves to dream about new friends.

Summary of Mermaid Sister
Shelly is tired of her brother, Gordy. She?d much prefer a sister. So when Coral catches a wave to shore, they are instant friends, even if one of them has flippers instead of feet. They dance and play and eat peanut butter and jellyfish sandwiches. It?s great having a mermaid sister!
But when Shelly and Coral get in their first fight, Shelly wonders if Coral might be happier back at sea. Life with a sister can have its ups and downs, but it?s nothing another day at the beach can?t fix.
