The Mermaid's Three Wisdoms

Rating:
Summary: beautiful story, pictures
Review: i first discovered this book at my school library in the third grade, and fell in love with it immediately. it is a quiet story about a meeting of worlds--deaf human and silent mermaid--anyone who is interested in mythical creatures should read this book...jane yolen has some great details about them: mermaids have a fascinating way of speaking, for instance, using bubbles; and their tears are precious. i highly recommend this book to any children who are lonely or intrigued by fairies and the like. and you must see the pictures! beautiful realistic graphite drawings.
