The perfect rhyming children’s book for kids who love mermaids!

Today we’re on a MERMAID hunt!
I’m sure we’ll find a lot.
They’re always sitting round on rocks –
They can’t be hard to spot!

Join two mermaid enthusiasts on a magical seaside adventure to find their favourite mythical creature! There are LOADS of places to explore – by the lifeguard’s chair … along the harbour wall … and if not there, they MUST be easy to spot out to sea from a boat.

Is that a mermaid TAIL, poking out from a stall along the prom? Ah, no – it’s a cuddly whale. Where could those mermaids be?

But if you keep looking and don’t give up, you never know what you might find – there might just be some mermaids just around the corner after all!

Binoculars at the ready for a fun-filled rhyming romp … full of magic and mermaid sparkle!

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt meets Ten Little Unicorns with the ‘not-all-it-seems’ silliness of Shark in the Park!

About the Author

Suzy Senior is a writer of picture books and young fiction, whose bestselling titles include Octopants and Unicorn Club. She loves making things rhyme, and eating jaffa cakes – ideally both at the same time! She lives in Yorkshire, at the top of a very big hill.

Pat Corrigan grew up in a cloudy town in Cheshire where he brightened up his life with various creative endeavours and activities (his favourite was cross stitch!). He studied ceramics at university before training as an art teacher. He then went on to become the art director of a busy design studio in London. In 2018 he made the decision to try his hand as a freelance illustrator and has never looked back.
