Something fishy's afoot! Every girl's fantasy of being a mermaid meets every child's reality of having to wash up before bed in a delightful good-night story with a real twist in the tale.

"Meriam liked lots of things, but she didn't like getting ready for bed..." As her mother scrubs behind her ears and combs the seashells out of her tangled hair, little beach babe Meriam describes a most extraordinary day: diving for pearls, swimming with dolphins, even frolicking with octopuses. Is Meriam making it all up?

No, because Meriam is every young girl's dream--a real-life mermaid who never, ever has to clean between her toes!

A sweet, soothing good-night tail--er, tale!--by the author-illustrator team behind WANDA'S FIRST DAY.
