A girl and her parents celebrate the summer solstice by participating in the annual Mermaids on Parade event at Coney Island. Judges give prizes, and the girl wins "Best Little Mermaid." Brightly colored gouache pictures feature a host of costumed mermaids and sea creatures. Back matter includes instructions to make a mermaid tail and an author's note about Coney Island.
