Our Review

This interactive board book brings the magic of mermaids to life with sturdy flaps and surprising pop-up characters that will captivate curious toddlers. Little ones join Starry Belle on her journey to the underwater palace, lifting flaps to discover friends like Rainbow Raya hiding behind coral and seaweed. The simple, engaging storyline about mermaids getting ready for a special event provides just enough narrative to hold a young child's attention. Each page turn offers new tactile discoveries that make this more than just a reading experience—it's a hands-on underwater adventure.

What sets this book apart is how effectively it combines early learning concepts with pure enchantment, transforming peekaboo into a magical seek-and-find game. The thick, durable pages and flaps are perfectly sized for small hands to manipulate independently, building fine motor skills while children practice object permanence and cause-and-effect understanding. Young mermaid enthusiasts will be utterly charmed by the shimmering illustrations and the joy of revealing each hidden character. This underwater exploration delivers repeated delight that will have toddlers surfacing for "just one more" reading again and again.
