How to Catch a Mermaid: A Summer Picture Book for Mermaid Lovers

recently purchased a set of hardcover mermaid books for my daughter, and they are absolutely wonderful! The quality is top-notch—sturdy covers, thick pages, and vibrant illustrations that immediately capture a child’s imagination. These books feel like they’re made to last, which is perfect for little hands that love to flip through pages again and again. I loved it so much I bought for friends! The stories are sweet, magical, and age-appropriate, with positive messages about friendship, bravery, and believing in yourself. My daughter was completely enchanted from the first page and asks to read them every night. The mermaid characters are fun and relatable, and the underwater worlds are beautifully brought to life with colorful, detailed artwork. What I love most is that these books are not only visually stunning but also engaging and well-written. They strike the perfect balance between being entertaining and meaningful, making them a joy to read aloud. These hardcover mermaid books make a fantastic gift for any little girl who loves all things magical and ocean-themed. Whether for birthdays, holidays, or just because, they’re sure to become a treasured part of any child’s bookshelf. Highly recommend!

I love this book so much! I read it to my daughter over and over she can't get enough !!

story follows a group of kids who try to catch a magical mermaid using creative traps and clever ideas. Each attempt fails in funny ways as the mermaid escapes again and again. The story is told in rhyming text, which makes it fun to read aloud with children.

Very cute story with great graphics, you know your child loves the story when they have the pages memorized.

Cute book, lovely pictures. The story is great for younger and older kids (up to 5 or 6). The only downside is (spoiler alert) my 3-year-old kept asking when we’d see the mermaid, and she’s never fully shown. You catch glimpses of her but no smiling, full image. My daughter still liked the book, but I see this as a miss for the younger audience.

My mermaid niece loves the book!

How to Catch a Mermaid is such a cute and engaging book. My child loves the bright, colorful illustrations, and the story keeps their attention from start to finish. The rhyming style makes it fun to read out loud, and it has that playful, imaginative feel that kids get excited about. The characters are creative, the traps they design are silly and entertaining, and the whole book encourages curiosity and problem-solving in a way that feels very kid-friendly. It’s also a nice length for bedtime — not too long, not too short. This has quickly become one of our go-to books, and my child asks for it again and again. If you’re building a kids’ library or looking for a gift, this one is definitely worth adding.

What a cute book. Great pictures. Nice quality.

El libro es muy bonito la historia asequible. Lectura recomendada para lectores de 5 a 7 años. Las ilustraciones preciosas también.

Beautifully written and animated throughout

But not one picture of the mermaid. Only her tail! Children disappointed.

Well illustrates, lovely story.

Great book! Every book in the collection is amazing
