BR 1-03: Stories of Mermaids

""You can do it, boy," she whispered."(p.22)

First, the illustrations are very cute. I like marine creature, so this book makes me happy!! Many many colorful fishes, seahorses, sharks et cetera.
The scene which I was the most favorite is "seahorses' race." Some mermaids ride seahorses. The race like a steeplechase. A lot of hurdles lurk in the course. For example, octopuses hide in sea anemones, and they spout ink to mermaids and seahorses. Then, mermaids have to lead their seahorses to escape the hurdles. I like seahorses so much, so I want to ride them very much!! I think they are soooooooo cute.
I surprised and interested in what the book's mermaids are covered with scales to their bust. My mermaids images are almost covered with scales to their west, so this mermaids illustrations interesting, I think.
