The perfect rhyming children’s book for kids who love mermaids!

Today we’re on a MERMAID hunt!

I’m sure we’ll find a lot.

They’re always sitting round on rocks –

They can’t be hard to spot!

Join two mermaid enthusiasts on a magical seaside adventure to find their favourite mythical creature! There are LOADS of places to explore – by the lifeguard’s chair … along the harbour wall … and if not there, they MUST be easy to spot out to sea from a boat.

Is that a mermaid TAIL, poking out from a stall along the prom? Ah, no – it’s a cuddly whale. Where could those mermaids be?

But if you keep looking and don’t give up, you never know what you might find – there might just be some mermaids just around the corner after all!

Binoculars at the ready for a fun-filled rhyming romp … full of magic and mermaid sparkle!

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt meets Ten Little Unicorns with the ‘not-all-it-seems’ silliness of Shark in the Park!
