The Little Mermaid (Flip-Up Fairy Tales) Age 3+

Creating innovative, award-winning books for children from 0-8 years that promote learning through play

My daughter likes to pretend she is a mermaid.  She talks in a high pitched voice so I always know when she ‘changes’ into a mermaid.  It is super adorable and sometimes it even helps her take a bath!  While I am just getting used to her being into princes and mermaids, I do not want her to be completely encompassed in the fairytale land of the ‘you-know-who’ princesses.  After all, these traditional tales are part of many cultures and being re-told in story form is great for Brooke while honoring the story tradition.  Child’s Play Flip-Up Fairy Tale series includes a huge selection of fairy tale books that include flip-up flaps which my daughter just loves.  We love to have lots of fun discussions of what it means to be a mermaid and a mermaid ‘princess’ and this was a really great way to have fun fantasy discussions with her.   The book comes with a CD to Brooke’s delight and she liked following along and being able to turn the pages as she heard the bell.

Check it out! The 40^th year anniversary edition of the original book on the Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly is available through the Child’s Play website.
