My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Mermaid books are a great way to introduce your child to science. This book contains a science experiment you can do with your child just like Fig shows Maia and Trezzie how to do. I love the illustrations and the detailed science at the back of the book. This book isn’t just a great read but a great learning opportunity. The characters are lovable and timeless.

Maia and Fig are playing by the water when Maia’s imaginary friend shows up. Maia’s friend is a mermaid named Trezzie. Trezzie finds something in the water and through creative work together finds a way to magnify the item in order to see what it is.

This was a fun story, I liked that it teaches you how to use simple things to solve a problem. Has directions at the end of the book which is great for for reading and activity plan for young readers.

Cute, fun read that teaches children science concepts without making it appear to be learning. My 10yr old enjoyed the story and was excited to test out his own water magnifying glass, while my 18 month grandbaby was equally engaged with the beautiful illustrations presented throughout the book! In this third installment of Trezzie and her friends, the group uncovers some fossils, which Wickstrom brings to life for the children with her informative discussion and phenomenal illustrations. Highly recommend for all kiddos. My boys are excited to read the first two books in the series (although each is perfect as a stand alone story).

Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass is a part of the Mermaid Science Series by Lois Wickstrom. This is the perfect story to get young kids to get interested in science. The book is good for ages 4-8. The story takes the children through the science process. They are on an adventure to make a magnifying glass out of drops of water. This will pique the interest of girls using Trezzie the mermaid. The characters are unique just like other children. I love the fantasy concept to teach the concept of science to young children. I recommend this story and series for young children.

My youngest loved this book. She was able to read it and learn at the same time. She loves science. It was done in a subtle engaging way that kept her wanting to continue reading until the end.

My daughter is 12 and a tad too old for this book; however she loved it. She does have trouble reading sometimes; which is why I encourage her to read all different genres of books. This was a book she was able to read well and she loved the graphics.

Having said this, this book would be more suited to a child up to 8.

This is my third book from this author. I like her concepts, introduce science to little children her books. The illustrations are bright and neat, and it helps both children and adults realize that science exists in the nature and you can do experiments with very simple tools and you do not need a laboratory.
Trezzie, the mermaid, collects trash which people leave on the shore. When she meets Maia and Fig this time, she is interested to know more about the rocks which has some unusual markings on them. Maia and Fig ,use a plastic fruit box and help make a magnifying glass for Trezzie. Trezzie uses the glass and together they find out that the rocks are actually fossils. The discussion then leads to what Fossils are.

It is a very interesting book to read for both children and adults. I am enjoying reading the books with my boys. I would recommend it to everyone.

Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass: a Mermaid Science Story by Lois Wickstrom

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass is a great read. I love reading these stories to my daughter.

Trezzie is back again to see her friends. One still can’t see her, but the other can. She gives them a rock and Fig whines that it’s too small for their tower. The quote I chose for Trezzie is: “Look what I found.”

Highly recommended for Kids & Family lovers.

Tezzie the mermaid collects trash from the shore and with the help of her friend makes a magnifying glass. They want to take a closer look at a rock they found that has cool markings!

Come to find out it’s a fossil!

These books are so cute science and fantasy and children’s level understanding combine in a way that enraptured my 4 year old. Will be on the look out for more!

This is a really enjoyable children’s book. I recommend this author and this series to any parent or grandparent who have children in their lives that enjoy science. This series is one that any child who loves to explore and discover new things will enjoy. The activities included at the end of the book will make any child happy as it shows them something fun that they can do for themselves.

Maia and Fig are back at the lakeside and this time they are building a tower out of stones when Trezzie the Mermaid comes up to see them with a rock, this rock is too small for the tower that they are building, but when they look closer they can see a pattern in it, so Fig asks Maia what it is, but she can’t tell because it is too small to really see it. When Maia asks for a magnifying glass Fig knows how to make one, so between the tree of them, can Fig, Maia and Trezzie find what they need to make a magnifying glass and what will they find when they do?

This is a charming story which talks about science in a way which is easy and engaging for children, where they can learn useful scientific facts while still being in a land of fantasy.

What another great science learning book in this series. This is such a great tool to help young children learn science. The characters are well written and are able to draw the young child’s attention and aid in their learning process. The author does a great job to to engage the young readers imagination and aid in their learning. The author simplifies the subject and makes it easy to understand. I really recommend this series to anyone who has young children and wants to get their children into loving learning. Definitely worth the read.

“The Mermaid and the Watery Magnifying Glass” was a cute story. Friends, Fig and Maia, are building a stone tower. They get some help from Maia’s mermaid friend, Trezzie. Fig shows them how to make a water magnifying glass to look at the stone Trezzie gave them. I love the characters in this story! Fig and Maia seem to have a close friendship, and Trezzie adds an element of imagination. I did not read the other books in this series, but still found this book enjoyable on its own. I recommend this story for elementary age children, especially children who love science.

Another wonderful science story for children. The author has a great way of creating storylines that certainly get children thinking scientifically and its great as a starting point for encouraging them to have a go at the activities the characters do in the story. The story is easy to follow and has beautiful illustrations that are certain to captures children attention.
In this story we see Maia, Fig and Trezzie create a magnifying glass!

Maia, Fig, and Trezzie, their mermaid friend, are back for another adventure. Trezzie finds an interesting fossil and Fig teaches them how to make a magnifying glass out of a plastic container so they can see the marks on the fossil better. The story is really cute and a great explanation of how magnifying glasses work is included. This would be a great book for teachers or parents to use to introduce magnifying glasses before having students experiment with a homemade one.

This is another cute adventure of a mermaid and her human friend. Trezzie, the mermaid, is back with an adventure in the science world. This time it is learning how to make a magnifying glass with a few drops of water. The author once more combines a popular kids fantasy creature with the world of science. It makes science fun and exciting for little ones of any gender. The experiment was easily able to be replicated at home. Both my niece and nephew cannot wait for the next Trezzie adventure and what science fun they can try next time.

Ahhh! Another lovely addition to the Mermaid Science series. I’ve been really enjoying reading these to my daughter and it has been so much fun to watch her absorb and learn about the magic of science! This is another beautifully illustrated book in the series and might be my daughters favorite so far! She’s 4 and we have now read it together quite a few times. I adore Fig, Maia, and Trezzies adventures!

Every book in this series gets better each time. I enjoy reading these books with my daughters because its bright and vivid pictures but also great lessons. Each story holds a certain value to it that you do not forget. Trezzie was great fun in this story and her life for under valued treasure presented big life lessons. The science and educational aspect was just a big bonus!

I love these stories with their mixture of magic and science. What a great way to teach the kids who maybe don’t really enjoy science! This book is beautifully illustrated and easy read. I was wondering myself why Fig couldn’t see Tressie. The question was answered at the end of the book on an informative page which talks about magnifying glasses a little more. Looking forward to more of Tressie, Fig, and Maia’s experiences.

The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass is a fun yet educational children’s book that I absolutely loved reading. My four year old son loves books and this author especially he says he learns so much from the Mermaid. We’ve read this book several times already and it is definitely going on our re-read list. Maia,Fig and Trezzie are back and this time we are going on another Science adventure where we learn how to make a magnifying glass with a drop of water. I highly recommend reading  book to find out if you really can make a magnifying glass with a drop of water ? My son and I look forward to reading more from this Author.

I really enjoyed this book! As an Early Childhood Educator, this is a great book to teach young children about science and that one person’s trash may be another’s treasure.
This was not my first book by this author, and I am looking forward to more in the future and reading them to my students and my daughter. The illustrations are beautiful and keep the attention of the children having the story read to them.
Overall I highly recommend this book to anyone with children or any teachers and Early Childhood staff in childcare!

My kids absolutely love this series!!!! It is one of their favorites, and they get so happy and excited when I say there is a new one ready to read! The best part is getting to try the experiments with them. They have the best time with it, and we get to learn something at the same time. My favorite?! They don’t even realize they are learning something. It’s just fun! I can’t wait to see what else this author has for my kids (and maybe me) to learn!

This is a cute short book that I think would be good for younger kids who like trying out different experiments with stuff you can find around the home. I like how Trezzie, Maia, and Fig all work well together, teaching kids about team work.

This book was a very charming story. It also had an educational aspect to it! I love when stories I read are both educational but also cute. It makes me want to recommend them to others. It also keeps the children engaged in the story. I loved that it was short enough to keep kids’ attention but also a story people would not mind reading again! The illustrations were beautiful. Would definitely recommend to those who have kids and are looking for a new educational, inspiring story.

What a sweet little story! I really do enjoy reading this authors books to my daycare kids, as well as my own daughter. Their ages range from 1 to 9, and my 9 year old thoroughly enjoys reading the stories to the kids just before nap time too. As it’s a hot summer, we were most interested in trying to science experiment and will be doing so later today. She captures the attention of the audience, and keeps us coming back for more. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend the Mermaid science books to all those with little ones running around!

This really is such a delightful series to read. Every time I tell me daughter there is a new one she gets so excited. The stories are engaging and perfect for the intended audience. It is also interesting and well written enough to entertain any adult involved with the reading. These books are always ones we have to read multiple times, which for me is all I need to tell me it is a success. A great book and a great series.

Wickstrom did an amazing job of explaining the science behind water magnifying glasses and told the story in a way that would captivate the attention of young readers. The story follows the friend duno of Fig and Maria. The friends are playing near a lake when Trezzie, a mermaid that only Fig can see, helps them build a magnifying glass to examine a fossil. The back of the book includes instructions that could be used to make one of our own. Teachers could use “Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass” to help illustrate ways that their students can investigate the world around them without the use of expensive equipment.
