5.0 out of 5 stars Another Fantastic Julia Donaldson Story
My five and almost three year old are huge Julia Donaldson fans and we recently added this book to our collection. The Singing Mermaid marks another collaboration between Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks and Monks' illustration style is perfect for this story.The Singing Mermaid tells the story of a mermaid with a beautiful singing voice who is tricked into joining the circus by it's devious owner. She is forced to sing in the circus and kept in a fish tank but does meet some new friends along the way. Can she, with their help, make it back to her home under the sea?The book is beautifully illustrated, with Monks' trademark bright colours and added glitter which we know so well from books like What the Ladybird Heard. It's the perfect match for this under the sea story with beautiful textures and so many things for your children to look at. Each page has some glitter on it and my almost three year old loves to touch this part of each page.It's a lovely book to read aloud and has Julia Donaldson's usual lyrical style. The poetry flows beautifully and it really lends itself to being learned by heart. My children love it when I stop before the last word of each line so they can complete it themselves. The characters are great and, while Sly Sam is clearly the bad guy (and 'naughty' accordiing to my children) he's not scary at all.I can see us continuing to enjoy The Singing Mermaid for some time to come. Another fantastic Julia Donalson story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely story, brilliant illustrations
My 2-year old daughter absolutely adores this book and it's been a daily nap time and bed time favourite for a couple of months now. I originally bought the board book for durability and that is the one we use for bed time as she will often want to take it to bed with her. I bought the larger paperback version when it was £2 which is used just as much. The paperback has glitter throughout the pages on various illustrations which gives it a little extra magic and the whole thing is much larger so it's nice to curl up on the sofa to read on our laps. We have the other stories in the series and although we read them quite a bit none are loved as much as this one. There is a sticker activity book too which I look forward to giving her.
Great story beautiful pictures

Can be enjoyed by boys and girls. My 3 year old boy loved it!
Most five year old girls love mermaids and unicorns.
I like julia donaldson books for young children. Colourful, well illustrated which captured the attention of my five year old granddaughter. The story has a happy ending. Book also has activity book which she loved doing.
Great sparkly illustrations
Lots of colour and glitter in illustrations. My 3 yr old granddaughter gets scared easily by some story lines. The singing mermaid is a pleasant read for that age.
Good
Nice story for kids
Fun to Read!
My 2 year old daughter and I both love this book! Even though the story is longer than many other board books, it holds her interest all the way through. I really try to be thoughtful about the messages I expose her to, and I think this one is net positive. It's the first time I've introduced her to the idea of someone wanting to control another person, or such a villainous character as Sam Sly is, but I think it deals gently with the subject for innocent souls. The words are lyrical and fun to read. I'm actually glad there is no glitter on the inside of the board book, as my daughter picked at the glitter on the cover and took off a bit of paint (photo attached).
