The Singing Mermaid

Julia Donaldson

Lydia Monks

The singing mermaid is tempted away from her home at Silversands to join the circus. The audiences love her but the poor mermaid, kept in a tank by the wicked circus owner Sam Sly, soon longs to return to the freedom of the sea. Will she ever escape? With glitter throughout, this is a beautiful, lyrical new picture book from the creators of the bestselling WHAT THE LADYBIRD HEARD.
