Mermaid Sister

32 pp. | Walker | June, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8027-9746-9 $15.95
(4) K-3 Tired of her "pain in the patootie" brother, Shelly advertises for a sister via a message in a bottle ("Sister Wanted: Apply Onshore"). Mermaid Coral gets the job and much fun ensues, but Coral's not perfect either. The lively art beams with sunny color and cheerful details, though the text could have used a little bit more salt to balance the sweet.
