The World of Mermaids

This book helps you find out how to spot mermaids, how they live and what they do, and choose your own mermaid name. You can follow the adventures of Ondine, a little mermaid who misses her friend but finds a new one in the unlikely eight-tentacled shape of a greedy octopus. You can learn how to make mermaid brooches, bracelets and jewel boxes, and read about the fierce underwater flowers that are not really flowers at all. And the mermaids have left a special gift for you - a golden seahorse necklace, just like Ondine's, to turn you into a beautiful mermaid, too! It is delightfully illustrated with beautiful painted artwork by children's artist Beverlie Manson. Have you ever seen a mermaid? It is not surprising if you haven't, for they are very shy and hard to spot - but this book lets you into their secret realm. Here you will learn about mermaids that have been mentioned in poems and stories through the centuries, find out what mermaid's purses are, how you can hear the songs of the sea in empty shells, and how to make pretty mermaid jewels - and that's in addition to the necklace that you get free with this book!
