Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"For as long as anyone can remember, mermaids have swum through our stories and splashed through our dreams."

Where did these mythical creatures come from? What if they were real? Mermaids Most Amazing provides a comprehensive introduction to these beloved creatures, rendered in beautifully evocative, folk art-style collages and illustrations. You'll meet the fish-tailed goddesses of ancient Polynesia; crafty water sprites of the Pacific Northwest; fake mermaids from British carnivals of the 1800s; and the dugong, whose human-like features and behavior have been mistaken for mermaids by sailors throughout the ages.

Including several legends perfect for reading aloud, as well as maps of the mermaid world, Mermaids Most Amazing is a must-read for mermaid fans of all ages. Who knows what strange (and real) creatures you just might find?

Review:

"The collage illustrations are engaging, and the brief historical examples of mermaid sightings, fakes, and folktales are interesting." Hornbook Guide to Children

Review:

"With its attractive cover and subject matter, the book is likely to be popular." School Library Journal

Synopsis:
