"Many claim to have caught a mermaid, but can YOU? How do you catch a mermaid? You must be very clever. With mirrors, crowns, and pearls galore, this quest can't last forever!"  --the publisher

This is a bestseller and highly rated, but I thought the rhymes and the story were forced. It is a fun subject for a picture book, but I was disappointed. Two out of five stars from me.
