How To Catch a Mermaid is an adorable read for kids of any age. My daughter absolutely loved the illustrations, and the way they made the story stand out was fascinating. She giggled thru out the book and wanted to read it again and again all day! I now must buy the physical book for her to add to her library!

The story was fine but a little too silly for my three girls. The pictures were bright and colorful.

I found this book to be cutesy and adorable for those mermaid lovers out there. But it also has room for the thinkers. Two kids are on a mission to catch this mermaid and they run into a lot of bumps that they need to problem solve their way out of. It creates a never give up vibe and that's important to teach children. I would definitely buy a copy.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Source Books for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. First time reading this author. This is a children's book. Cute. I liked the idea and the rhyming. Fun to read.

First let me thank Netgalley for an advanced digital copy. What a cute and colorful book. I just love mermaids and I really enjoyed reading this story about how to catch one. Such a sweet rhyming poetic story for kids of all ages. I highly recommend this book. It is never too early to start reading and enjoying fantasy.

The story gives a lesson in persistence. The little girl, keeps trying to catch the mermaid after failed attempts. I loved all of the bright colors, but was not a fan of the pictures themselves. It seemed cartoon-like.

Written in simple rhyming verse, this is a tale of two clever kids and a dog trying their best to catch an equally clever mermaid. The elusive mermaid keeps escaping the traps set to lure her in but when the friends find themselves in danger, the mermaid shows up to save the day! Vivid illustrations add excitement to this fun adventure for young readers.

I loved this book.
The idea is quite interesting, who doesn't want to try catch a mermaid, right?
The illustration is great, and the story also interesting.
Cannot wait to read another story by the author.

A fun rhyming ditty of a storybook with excellent pictures. One sure to be read again, and again, and again. Some pluses, the boy carries a book and the girl is hatching plans.

"Last week I saw a mermaid.
It's not something I'd pretend!
I'd really like to catch her
so she could be my friend. "

So begins the tale of ... "how to."

This little girl yearns to encounter a real mermaid so she can tour mermaid city with her and swim for days and days. She invites her friend to come join her team and together they plan out a mermaid-catching scheme.

Their imaginations and creativity are ignited because nothing like this has ever been done before. Do you know of anyone who has tried to catch a mermaid? I sure don't. Mermaids are streamlined and move fast and they can disappear in the wink of an eye so their plan will have to be clever, smart and sneaky. Then... gotch ya!

This wonderful rhyming book is written by New York Bestselling author Adam Wallace and the illustrations by Andy Elkerton are amazing. The pictures are vibrant, packed full of action and detail and very expressive. They insert the reader right into the pages of the story and animate the narrative perfectly. I love them!

Kids will adore this underwater adventure as their imaginations ignite to try and figure out how in the world a mermaid can be caught. I love books that stretch kid's minds into the realm of the make-believe and wonder. I highly recommend this book.

The illustrations in this book are amazing! They are so lifelike and really bring the book together. The story is really cute with the children trying to catch the mermaid. I think children will really enjoy reading this one and looking at the great illustrations.
