Mermaid and the Rainbow: Mermaid Science by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Sarah King

the mermaid and the rainbow by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this book with my niece and nephew (kindergarten and first grade aged). They both both excited to see the different different experiments which they had to try. The youngest loved the pictures even adding to the story on her own in a way only little kids can. My nephew was a little harder sale. He loved doing the experiments and even like the story but he is in a question phase. He wanted to know how the kids knew about mermaids, how they became friends etc. Since this book is part of a series we will be checking out the first book next to hopefully answer his questions and find more experiments the kids enjoy. I struggled a little with who was who in the story it was not obvious in the beginning; even with that being said I would absolutely recommend this book. It was fun and engaging for the kids, the illustrations were colorful and well done.
