I liked the little mermaid, because she was really good at swimming & very helpful. I love mermaids, so this book was great.

I liked this book because I didn't know how to swim either. I went to swimming lessons instead of swimming in the sea.

I thought it was good. It was funny when Mairi's brother got squashed by a wave. I would recommend it to people who like stories that are funny.

I think other people should try it because it is a good book. I liked that Mairi could swim. The mermaid was my favourite character because I like mermaids.
