How interesting to have a book with so much to say about something that exists only in one’s imagination!  Various myths and lore surrounding merpeople are explored.  No actual findings of any merpeople.  Lots of books and media which feature mermaids are referred to.  A quiz to find out what kind of mermaid you are is featured.  Lots of beautiful illustrations and pictures of mermaids.  Girls strongly in tune with fantasy will enjoy spending time with this book.
