Nayu's thoughts
My
favourite author/illustrator duo are back! This time with a story
which is way better than the Disney version. Yes I'm highly biased as
I adore The Fairytale
Hairdresser series.
I love seeing fairytale characters who I know well but doing slightly
different things. There is so much going on in each picture, with a
few characters (like the little fairies) ending up in a fair amount
of scenes.
I was extremely glad that the Little Mermaid's nemesis
didn't have much page time as she is rather creepy, but she gets what
she deserves. Even though I sort of knew what would happen to the
Little Mermaid, seeing her so upset and hearing her tale of woe made
me a little teary – she is so sweet that it seems unfair she gets
what she wants but can't speak. I enjoyed watching the prince make
his own plans to get closer to the Little Mermaid in the background
scenes - he liked her as much as she liked him, as proven when their
happily ever after happens and the reader gets to see what happens
next.

| I have many favourite scenes, but I like how Kitty goes to help the Little Mermaid in her own world, using sea-themed - be sure to check out the catmaid! |
Ah,
I'm so looking forward to which tale Abie & Lauren tackle next!
Kitty's business continues to thrive and make me smile ^o^
Book is available at many book stores including NRC affiliate Foyles
Suggested read
Lauren and Abie helped me finally like the story of Snow White in The Fairytale Hairdresser and Snow White (Children's, Picture book, 10E/10E)
