cute story ( )

Summary:
A mermaid loves to explore the see and wish to be like the humans. Her best friend is flounder, a talking fish. They go on adventures to sunken ships to barely escape a shark. They return to her cave of treasures to be disturbed by a human boat. She must save a prince in the end and return home before the crew sees her.

Personal Reaction:
I loved this book. The illustrations depicted the story perfectly and even for younger age groups it allowed them to follow what i was saying through the illustrations.

Classroom Extension Ideas:
1. Have the children paint blue paint onto blue paper and then paint their hands yellow to make flounder fishes onto the paper. They can then add glitter to the paper to make it look like the water is moving. They can then hang them up and pretend to be mermaids swimming in their oceans.
