The Mermaid and the Ice Cube Necklace (Mermaid Science) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Anantha Rusum

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

I really like this author’s ideas and her effort to teach science to children through a series of enchanting magical stories. Two cute girls, Maia and Fig go on a picnic together and encounter a mermaid, Trezzie. Maia can interact with Trezzie but Fig cannot.Maia decides to make a necklace for Trezzie, which is where the science part comes in. The two girls blow holes into the ice cubes they brought for lemonade through a straw and make a necklace. When Fig sees a necklace hanging in the air, she begins to chase it and almost gets drowned. Trezzie and the necklace save her and then Fig begins to believe.

It’s a real cute story with lot of wonderful illustrations. I have started liking this author’s books a lot.
