Imagine This Book Sinking to the Seabed,
By Amy Steele "quirky mama" (Western NC, Land of the Mullets With Tails) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Imagine You're a Mermaid (Imagine This!) (Paperback)
The previous reviewer is absolutely correct. I quietly sent this book to Davy Jones's locker.

Offensive,
This review is from: Imagine You're a Mermaid (Imagine This!) (Paperback)
My daughter brought this home from her school library. Imagine my disgust at a line in this book that asserts a mermaid's life, which seems boiled down to nothing more than being beautiful and shopping for accessories, is "better than being useful." From start to finish, this book undermined the core values we attempt to teach our daughter: that consumerism does not equal happiness, that true beauty can't be achieved through accessories and that it is quite important to be useful. Yes, she is quite beautiful, but she is worth so much more than that. How about a book extolling the virtues of a scientist's life? Imagine the possibilities when we look beyond the stereotypes.
