Synopses & ReviewsPublisher 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?

School Library Journal Synopsis:Readers can dive into the world of mermaids with this comprehensive introduction. From mermaids of legends and fairy tales to fake mermaids of the British carnivals of the 1800s, this is a must-read for mermaid fans of all ages. Full color.
