Lovely Ruby and the Mermaid

(4) K-3 A girl narrates this fanciful story about her best friend Ruby, who has moved near the shore. Among Ruby's beach-treasure finds is a shell that conjures up a mermaid who provides needed companionship. The sunny art draws the reader more to the characters than the labored text does.
