Look insideThe Singing Mermaid (Board Book)
A lyrical picture book by Julia Donaldson and talented artist Lydia Monks. Rhyming magic from the genius pair behind What the Ladybird Heard. Did you ever go to Silversands on a sunny day? Then perhaps you saw the mermaid singing in the deep blue bay. But trouble strikes when the mermaid is tricked into joining a circus. The audiences love her – but the wicked ringmaster keeps her trapped in a fish tank. (Boo hiss.) Will she ever escape to the freedom of the sea?
“A delightful rhyming adventure.” Daily Mail
