I like when the sea lion was wearing seaweed instead of hair and the mermaid was watching, instead of it being her
Professor Jet Eggybread 20.08.2024

My favourite character is the mermaid. My favourite part is when the shark bit the thieves toes. I would recommend this book to others.

I like it’s about the seaside. I like that the bad guys don’t get the mermaids hair. I liked the way the ladybird because it’s small but also clever. I liked that even though it couldn’t speak it whispered and I liked that.

Viscountess Pixie Eggybread 06.08.2024

My favourite character is the sea lion because they saved the day by pretending to be the mermaid. My favourite part was when it pretended to be asleep, but it was still winking. I would recommend this too anyone!
