Most of the ten mermaids are large single figures with little background. Little Mermaid, with her two braids, works for two-year-olds, and Mermaid with Pearl and Mermaid with Flower Crown from three. Two Mermaids Playing, blowing bubbles, and Mermaid at Underwater Palace, with its towers and onion domes, add more scenery. The most detailed is Mermaid in Coral Reef, full of striped and spotted fish and brain coral, aimed at kids around six.
After a day at the beach, Mermaid with Shells is a natural pick: scallop shells, starfish and a snail shell surround her rock, so your child can lay their own finds next to the page and match the colors. The easy pages are also handy for long car rides on vacation, since they have no tiny areas and work fine on a clipboard. Your child can also dive into an underwater tale as its main character.
