All Maggie the Mermaid wanted to do was be great? "Great at what?" her teacher asked. Hmmm. Perhaps the librarian would have an idea for her. And, indeed she did. The librarian gave her a book titled THE OFFICIAL MERMAID HANDBOOK. It was only for those special mermaids who wished to develop their greatness and in doing so would help make their world - the ocean - a better place. The HANDBOOK revealed 10 requirements for greatness. She was told that if she did what it said, she would certainly be GREAT! Of course it was easier said than done. But Maggie did it, improving herself in many ways from personal orderliness, kindness and helpfulness to cooperation and sharing, to appreciation and being adventurous by trying new things, to telling the truth and honoring authority, to maintaining a positive attitude no matter what - all with a few missteps along the way. Over 50 adorable illustrations. A 5x7 Certificate of Merit is available at the end of the paperback version of this book. It is perfect for any child who has earned it.

Might she be in someone else's pocket? If you like the books of Dr. Seuss, Mo Willems, Sandra Boynton, Suzy Spafford, Jane O'Connor, the Berenstains, Felicia Bond, Laura Numeroff, and P.D.

When an odd duck, which looks very much like a bunny, pops out of a shell in Mother Duck’s nest, she is astonished but not put off. “Not to worry,” says Mother Duck. “He’ll grown into a fine feathered duck when he grows up!” This is her explanation for all the other oddities she discovers: he can’t swim; he has fur where feathers should be; he likes fruits and vegetables rather than worms; he has whiskers; and he hops instead of walks. When he grows up, he still can’t do any of the things a duck can do. But, he can do one thing very well – dye eggs!
