5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite childhood book., February 22, 2008
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars the little mermaid, September 21, 2009
By Mary Jones "mass mercy" (Stockbridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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!
