Would you like to spot a mermaid? If so, you will need a few supplies and a great deal of patience.

As we learn in these informative illustrated pages, mermaids are very shy and do not make friends easily. But if you find a place near the water, sit very still, and are willing to share your Goldfish crackers, you just might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one. And who knows . . . there may even be a mermaid, somewhere, hoping to catch a glimpse of you, too!

Mermaid fans and science-minded young readers alike will love thestep-by-step guidance in How to Spot a Mermaid, a clever how-to book that celebrates the magic in the world around us and helps us to let our imaginations run wild and swim the line between reality and fiction.

FOR IMAGINATIVE EXPLORERS: Binoculars, map, pad, and pen—check. The main character who leads the way on this mermaid search is an engaged young scientist doing exciting fieldwork. She is at the ready for real-world observational science with all the tools she needs—including a sense of curiosity!

ENVIRONMENTAL BOOK FOR KIDS: Preservation of our wilderness—and our waterways in particular—is essential, and this book makes a great, upbeat starting point for discussions of the importance and wonder of our world's natural habitats and ecosystems.
