A Great Book

This is one of my daughter's most treasured books. She loves the dream/fantasy of becoming a mermaid for the day, and thinking of all the things she would do in the sea. I took this story to her preschool and read it to the class. It absolutely enchanted the 3 and 4 year olds! The art is beautiful, and so is the prose. Highly recommended for kids (especially those who dream of being mermaids themselves)!

Let Donnatalee take you back to the beach

My four year-old daughter and I have a new favorite book! Erika Tamar's writing style is like none we've ever read. It borders on poetic, but spins a most detailed story at the same time. Her rhythm mimics the ocean's, and her descriptiveness recalls childhood memories of days at the beach. You won't just read it, you'll smell it, feel it and hear it too!When you're done reading this beautifully illustrated book you'll think you need to shake the sand out of your shoes!
