The Merbaby

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Patience Brewster. With his greedy brother, Josh, Tarron fishes the sea and dreams of sailing for adventure on his own someday. When they haul in a merbaby with their catch, Josh wants to put her in a glass cage and charge admission to see her, but Tarron decides he must return her to her ocean home. Though the telling occasionally becomes overly sentimental, the watercolor paintings express an enchantingly romantic air.
