My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my second book from Wickstrom on this Mermaid and I fell in love all over again! This mermaid story takes to new discoveries using a cup, paper, cardboard, and a mirror. Such simple, everyday objects that young children can use for great scientific exploration! It is also a great story showing how a pair of human girls and a mermaid can share their knowledge and share what they know with one another to discover something new and exciting.
I’ve been so personally intrigued by these stories as a parent and an educator on how you can take such a popular character, a mermaid, and throw in the mix of scientific exploration with everyday items. It is such an important time for young children to harness that youthful discovery and imagination so this sense of inquiry can expand into their adulthood as they set their own path into the world. When a story can encompass the ability of exploration, it provides excitement and continued interest in the field. I would definitely recommend this story as well to families and educators of young children.

The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass (Mermaid Science, #3)The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was good for my 8 and 9 year old daughters. They love mermaids, and this book was no exception. This was a quick read for both girls, who are still working toward being strong, independent readers.

Trezzie the Mermaid has found a rock that she thinks is interesting, and gives it to her friend Maia. Maia is playing with another friend, Fig, who can’t see Trezzie and feels left out when Maia and Trezzie are playing together. Trezzie wants Maia and Fig to try to figure out what the design is in the stone she hands them, but due to Fig making a water magnifying glass, they are able to see that it’s not a design, but rather a small creature.

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

This author continues to create the cutest mermaid stories with life lessons built in. I read it with my 8 year old daughter and she enjoyed it as much as the last story. Similar to the last book we are back under the sea with our mermaid friends and we are exploring science, friendship, and swim safety. Vivid imagery and fun facts attached make this a must read.

Oh my goodness how I wish I could let every little girl that passes my library read this book but I’m not sure my kindle will appreciate all the attention 😉

Our little friends Maia and Gig are off having a picnic when they befriend Trezzie , a mermaid 🧜‍♀️ now only one of our little friends can see her so the other one has her doubts but the 3 of them have fun together and create a beautiful necklace for Trezzie from ice cubes 🧊 ❤️

Not only was this a fun and cute read but there was also a bit of a science lesson to be learnt about the wonders of ice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was adorable and educational. My nieces loved it. The characters are fun and the storyline is great at teaching a few water tricks that also helps kids learn a bit more and water and it’s abilities in a fun way. The illustrations were great and fun to look at. All in all a fun read that has some fun learning along with it. My nieces and I definitely give this book a big four stars and highly recommend it.

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.

This was a really cute read and fantastic for getting young children interested and engaged in science. The story was fun to follow and was illustrated beautifully. It’s a very colourful and engaging story. I loved that the making of the rainbow was explained really well and children could recreate this at home with their parents/carers. A fun story that would be a great addition to any child’s library both home and school.

This book is adorable! I loved the science aspect of the book (the tricks). Trezzie is a mermaid and Fig and Maia are her human friends. Trezzie has a treasure chest of things she finds in the lake. Trezzie grabs a glass to show her friends a rainbow but the sun isn’t out. So Maia decides to show some tricks that she knows. They are actually good tricks that I could show my own kids. I read this book with my 8 year old and he immediately wanted to try the tricks. How fun is that?! Also we really enjoyed the illustrations. I was very pleased with this book!

Mermaid and the Rainbow: Mermaid Science is such a great little book. My eight-year-old granddaughter is not a science fan but after reading this book, we had to perform the science experiments as they were done in the book. Such a great way to get the littles interested in science by putting the experiments and results in a story. Can I just say that I love all the characters and find it charming that they teaching science geared towards little ones? I love the storyline about Mermaid coming ashore to play with her friends and to share her knowledge to others. It’s a great read and is given five stars by my granddaughter!

In this book we meet Trezzie the mermaid, and her human friends Fig and Maia. Freddie brings them a mirror and glass that she has found in the lake. Maia proceeds to teach Trezzie and Fig cool science experiments ‘tricks’ they can show others.

This short but sweet picture book is perfect for 6-9 year olds to teach them simple and fun tricks they can try themselves. Highly recommended.

Mermaid and the Rainbow: Mermaid science is a really fun, cute read. This book brings science to everyday things allowing kids of all ages to see just how much science is truly around them. The bright colors of the illustrations really brought the story and characters to life. It is a fast read that can lead to a fun learning experience by recreating the science experiments from the book. I can’t wait to read this to the kids in my family the next time they visit.

Adorable tale of how sharing knowledge amongst your friends not only strengthens the friendship but is fun! Trezzie and her friends use items Trezzie has found in the sea to create a rainbow and other fun science experiments! It was fun watching the friends learn from each other and enjoying science while thinking it was tricks and magic!! Each friend learns something. Great for younger children!!

I read this book to my 3 year old granddaughter who currently loves anything mermaids. She wasn’t old enough to understand the science they were doing, but she loved looking at the pictures and being read the story. I think it is a very good short kids story and I am interested in more to share with her. I did like that soon she will be able to try the experiments out herself.

This book was so adorable and educational. Although it’s about mermaids it’s great for all genders. My little one is in kindergarten and loved it. It’s easy for kids to follow and they get so excited trying to do the tricks mentioned on the book. Plus the illustrations are so gorgeous!

This is a really cool children’s book just right for those little girls and boys who are interested in discovery and science. My granddaughter is one of those. She loves experimenting and trying to figure stuff out. She would love this book and would want to replicate each of the experiments. So if your children or grandchildren are interested in experimenting and discovering new things I recommend this book for them.

For a children’s book, this is quite a way to introduce science into the lives of our kids. I found it to be extremely interactive for the kids and was great science experiments for them to try on their own. My kids loved it. The colors were so vibrant and jumped off the pages. I also loved the theme of using the mermaid to help engage the kids and teach them the lessons. I also found it to be quite interesting and learned some things I didn’t know along the way. I would highly suggest purchasing this book for your kids or for other kids as gifts. This would be a perfect gift for an elementary science teacher’s room. Please give it a read.

I loved this book about friends Trezzie, Maia and Fig who share their ideas with one another on how to make things like a rainbow with only a piece of paper, a mirror, and a glass of water. This book was full of super cool ideas and teaches science in a way that is both fun and creative. It was easy to read while also being informative and contains beautiful illustrations throughout the book that make reading entertaining. I cannot wait to read it again and again with my young nieces and try out some of the science experiments in the book. I highly recommend this book!

The Mermaid and the Rainbow was a fun story! What a great way to get kids interested in science. It jumped from one experiment to another without explaining or connecting the experiments, but was still educational overall. The kids were still excited and wanted to try the experiments, which was the point. Lois Wickstrom did a great job making education fun!

Mermaid and the Rainbow: Mermaid Science by Lois Wickstrom. This is such a cute, fun young children’s book. Its about science and different fun things involving science.

I believe this is a great book for a gift for all your young children! They will love it!

I read this book with my youngest son who has autism. He said it was good and he had no idea that so many tricks could be done with water. This book is making him want to try the experiments, so he can trick his older siblings.

I have always loved mermaids and so do my nieces! This was a great kids book. Age range of 4 to 8 is perfect. I love how the story works in the science “experiments” and seems like it will keep kids entertained. I can’t wait to read it to my nieces and nephews.

Mermaid and the Rainbow: Mermaid Science by Lois Wickstrom

This is the first read by the author that I’ve read. Mermaid and the Rainbow is a cute short book about a Mermaid creating a rainbow. My kid absolutely loved it!

Trezzie is a mermaid and likes collecting things from above the water. She wants to show her friends a trick, but the sun isn’t out. The quote I chose for Trezzie is: “I’ve got a trick, too. Please hand me the glass.”

Fig is a human boy who lives on the land. One of his friends is a mermaid and he loves learning from her. He and his other friend show her tricks until the sun comes out. The quote I chose for Fig is: “Trezzie is a great teacher. I’ve got to try that trick at my family’s next picnic.”

Highly recommended for Kids & Family.

I have a twenty-month-old daughter and a 7 year-old niece and they both loved this book. The vivid and bright pictures attracted my daughter and she loved going through them. My niece is “going to be a scientist” when she grows up and of course she loved the content. Plus, she loves anything to do with mermaids, so that was a bonus! This book is so cute. Trezzie is a mermaid who wants to show her friends, Maya and Fig, how to make rainbows and do an experiment with paper, a glass, and the lake water. Beware, the children you read this with will want to do these things when they are done reading! I recommend this book if you have small children as it is fun to look at and will keep their attention.

I thought this book was a really cute and fun book to learn about science. I enjoyed reading this book and finding all of the tricks that the mermaid knew and taught to the children. This is definitely a book that children will love. The illustrations are bright and colorful, and display the scientific experiments well. This little book is a fun conversation starter with your little one to do some of these experiments on their own with their own mermaid!
