THE THE MERMAID AND THE SHOE - K G CAMPBELL TAS...

In this delightful picture book  Minnow seems to be the only one of King Neptune's fifty
mermaid daughters who has no particular skill or accomplishments. That is  except for her
persistence in asking many  many questions. Why don't crabs have fins? Where do bubbles go?
What lies beyond the kingdom? But one day  as Minnow is drifting in the ocean all alone  a
single red woman's shoe  the loveliest thing she'd ever seen  floats toward her seemingly from
out of nowhere. Never having seen a shoe before  Willow becomes intrigued by what it might be.
When no one in the kingdom can tell her  she sets off on a quest to find out and  along the way
uncovers answers to many of the things that have been vexing her  including what her true
purpose is! Award-winning author and illustrator K. G. Campbell beautifully captures the watery
world of his mermaids with soft blues and grays  long hair rippling in the currents and lots of
bubbles. Young readers will chuckle knowingly at Minnow's misinterpretations of the world at
the edge of the kingdom  where bubbles burst and the above place began  as they delight in her
discovery of what the shoe is used for. With the feel of a fairy tale  this is a fun and
humorous story with a wonderful message appropriate for character education lessons about the
value of believing in yourself and the power of perseverance when you are searching for answers
to life's most important questions.
