Reviews

  • "Coral is a mermaid with a beautiful singing voice. But she longs to swap her tail for legs so she can be with Prince Marino. When the evil witch offers her the chance to do so, she jumps at it - but it is a trick. Luckily, Kittie Lacey, the best hairdresser in the land, hatches a plan to save the day. This is a fabulous fairy tale with a twist."

    Natasha Harding, The Sun

  • "This lovely story is full of fairytale characters to spot - and the clever twists in the illustrations give even adults something to look out for. Lauren Beard's superb illustrations are full of detail - take your time over this book and share it with your child to get the very best out of it. A wonderful series"
