Look insideThe Singing Mermaid
A lyrical picture book by Julia Donaldson and talented artist Lydia Monks. Rhyming magic from the genius pair behind What the Ladybird Heard. You already know that mermaids are beautiful. But this mermaid is also really talented. She’s a brilliant singer. (Way too good to just sit on a rock combing her hair.) But when the Singing Mermaid joins the circus, she ends up cruelly trapped. Will she ever escape to the deep blue sea?
