More About the Author

Nikki Grimes conveyed the fire-in-the-belly fervor of a Harlem girl who knows she was born to write in Jazmin's Notebook, a Coretta Scott King Honor Book. In My Man Blue, a Booklist Editor's Choice and Newsweek Children's Books of the Year selection, her artful words expressed a boy's journey from skepticism to trust. And now with Bronx Masquerade she presents a rich chorus of eighteen voices, singing openly about ideas, feelings, and questions--things that open minds, invite debate, provide release. A recent Booklist review proclaims: "As always, Grimes gives young people exactly what they're looking for--real characters who show them they are not alone."An accomplished poet, novelist, journalist, and educator, Ms. Grimes was born and raised in New York City and now lives in the Los Angeles area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Mermaid Running Press version is excellent!, July 7, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Disney's the Little Mermaid (Running Press Miniature Editions) (Hardcover)

Storywise, this is probably the best of all the printed retellings of the Disney movie "The Little Mermaid." It's concise, explains the characters' feelings with a depth other "children's books" rarely do, and sticks very closely to the movie's storyline. It's also a very well-constructed book, sturdy despite its small size. Excellent stocking stuffer and actually a delight to read. Very high print quality; the reproduction of the movie artwork is superb

5.0 out of 5 stars Disney's The Little Mermaid, September 26, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Disney's the Little Mermaid (Running Press Miniature Editions) (Hardcover)

Ariel is a mermaid that lives in the Atlantic Ocean with her Father King Triton. She always dreams of living on shore and having real human legs instead of fins. A sea gull names Scuttle she would go and visit and he would tell her about things humans use and give her some that he had grabbed thought out his day.
One day while she was swimming to shore she saw a large ship sailing and she tried to get as close as she could to see what was in side the ship. She had saw a man named Eric and fell instantly in love.
She came upon a sea witch named Ursula. Ursula granted her the wish she had always dreamed of legs. But in return Ariel had to give Ursula her voice. Ariel then was on land and saw Eric and he helped and talked to her. Ursula then changed her appearance and used Ariel's voice to capture Eric's love. Ariel, Sebastian, & Flouder have to swim to the boat were Eric & Ursula will be getting married in a matter of minute. Will Ariel and her friends make it in time to end the wedding?
The lesson that this story teaches is you shouldn't have to changer your appearance or anything about you for someone to love you like you love him or her. They will or should love you for who you are not what you want to be.
Age Level for this book its about 4 and up. Disney's The Little Mermaid is a very good book and children will love to read and hear about the many adventures and struggles Ariel gets into.
