5.0 out of 5 stars
My favourite childhood book.,
By Uhnghrid "Grope" (Everywhere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Little Mermaid (Step into Reading, Step 4) (Paperback)
There's something really beautiful about the way this book tells Andersen's depressing story of intense, painful emotions using extremely simple language for children. There are sentences like "she felt so sad, she thought her heart would break" and "tomorrow I will be foam on the sea. I have lost everything I love." Wow.
I'm definitely not a child anymore, but I still read this book sometimes. It's so lovely and sad, though as a child I didn't see it that way... I just liked how in the pictures the mermaids had different coloured shell-bras, and such.

the little mermaid,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Little Mermaid (Step into Reading, Step 4) (Paperback)
It is so refreshing to find a story of the Little Mermaid that is true to Hans Christian Anderson's original tale. I use it every year at Storytime, contrasting it with Disney's version. I love this easy-to-read book!
