Would you like to spot a mermaid? If so, you will need a few supplies and a great deal of patience.

As we learn in these informative, illustrated pages, mermaids are very shy and do not make friends easily. But if you find a place near the water, sit very still, and are willing to share your Goldfish crackers, you just might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one. And who knows... there may even be a mermaid somewhere, hoping to catch a glimpse of you, too!

Mermaid fans and science-minded young readers alike will love the step-by-step guidance in
How to Spot a Mermaid, a clever how-to book that celebrates the magic in the world around us and helps us to let our imaginations run wild and swim the line between reality and fiction.
