Tracking Mermaids

Upon entering the Blue Bunny bookstore last week, Ivy and I were lucky enough to discover Ammi-Joan Paquette signing books and making fairy wands with visitors to the store.  Never one to pass up a book signing, I blindly purchased The Tiptoe Guide to Tracking Mermaids.  It is a magical book about a young boy and girl searching for ever elusive mermaids.  The children find themselves on a deserted beach ripe with magic.  As they search tide pools, the shore, and hidden alcoves, adorable hand-drawn mermaids are secretly there in the photos.  Some of the drawings are just so lovely - mermaids combing their hair with shells, seahorses dancing, etc.  Ivy loves to point out the mermaids on each page.  Well worth the impulse buy!  Next we will try The Tiptoe Guide to Tracking Fairies.
