My daughter who is nearly two loves this book being read to her and is fascinated by mermaids now! I like the fact that it has some depth (no pun intended) to the story and deals with separation from parents and home plus shyness and making friends, albeit with a happy ending. As a parent it is refreshing to read something with some bite rather than stuff about purple dinosaurs. If I had to criticise, I'd say that it needs a little more story development and to show the mermaid being reunited with her family. Don't let that put you off - we love it!
