My daughter loves this book and all the notes and letters. She has another one, with notes and a charm bracelet as well, called Little Ballerina, by Sue Harris. Really good as well. My four year olds favorite books!!

This review is from: Mermaid's Bracelet (Hardcover)

Once the last envelope is opened at the end of the story and the bracelet with the bit-too-large circumference is presented, one is not totally compelled to go back to this book for re-reading. Alas, the excitement is semi-history. Keep away from toddlers, and people who loathe fair-haired mermaids (what's the problem with brunette merfolk, anyway?). Did I mention the gorgeous colors in the illustrations? Anyway, go with "The Magic Charm" book series instead. Somehow, they are more magical even though the subjects might be too "everyday" for some people...this may be so because the charms are not directly involved in the prose. Even without the included charms (we got a bunch used sans charms) and small notes that series has more, well, charm. Know I'm makin' waves here, but hey, gotta put the other side out there.

My 3-year old granddaughter has lots and lots of great books. But, as soon as she got this one, it became her favorite. She has to look through it each night before going to bed. She loves the little letters that Hannah and Shelly write to each other, and thinks the bracelet is soooo special.

I've looked at other Beth Harwood books but didn't find any others like this. If you know of any other books like this magical one, I'd love to hear about them.

We also love the Fancy Nancy books.
