(4) K-3 Illustrated by G. Brian Karas. This takeoff on "The Little Mermaid," L.A. style, pairs the Mer-Princess with a surfer and shows her eagerly shopping for shoes, once she has the feet to wear them. Karas glitzes up his lively, stylized artwork with day-glo pinks and oranges, which suit the beach party atmosphere of the catchy, though sometimes contrived, rhyming text.
