Critics Review
Briony’s modern fairytale wherein friendship is key, will appeal specially to thoughtful readers and listeners who enjoy a touch of magic, which is something that her illustrations in particular are imbued with. * Red Reading Hub *
This charming story of friendship will strum at the hearts of the readers… A wonderful read aloud, children will hang on to every word. * ReadPlus *
Calming and dreamlike, the gentle lull of The Mermaid Moon is one for reading at bedtime, sending children off to sleep with visions of marvellous mermaids and watery-filled wonderlands. * A Word About Books *
This is a delightful fantasy… The illustrations present the village and mermaid cave in the detail that children love. As one expects with Walker Books, the attention to design is impressive from the seaweed endpapers to the cheeky ending * Reading Time *
