The Mermaid and the Ice Cube Necklace (Mermaid Science) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Mermaid and the Ice Cube Necklace by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great little story about Maia and Fig who are having a picnic by the lake. As they are enjoying their lunch, a mermaid friend named Trezzie pops up and is entranced by all the ice in their lemonade and thinks they are so sparkly. Trezzie asks if they could make her a necklace out of the ice. Maia starts to make her necklace by blowing into a straw at the center of the ice (Fig is not able to see Trezzie). Once the necklace is made Fig sees the necklace just floating there and jumps in to chase it. Fig starts to drown and Trezzie and her necklace save her. Fig didn’t believe Trezzie was real but may be changing her mind!! This book was a really cute book that blended science and imagination together. One of the best ways to get kids learning is through fun innovation and this book was able to do that.
