My students love the How to Catch series and they are fun to read out loud.

I read this with my five year old son and two year old daughter this morning before taking my son to school.

The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. This is a tale of two clever kids and a dog trying their best to catch an equally clever mermaid. The elusive mermaid keeps escaping the traps set to lure her in but when the friends find themselves in danger, the mermaid shows up to save the day!

The world needs more mermaid and unicorn books. I get asked for them often at the library! “How to Catch a Mermaid” is a fun one that will be popular with children and is an excellent read aloud.

Incredibly gorgeous artwork. But I found the story a bit weak and the rhyme distracting. Still sure to be a hit with the younger mermaid fans.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

Delightful illustrations and clever rhymes tell the story of two children and a dog as they try to catch a mermaid. The mermaid is fast and clever and escapes their traps. But will she leave them to the sharks?
