Description
Determined to reach a distant treasure, a little mermaid creates a bubbly new way to travel!
When a petite mermaid named Pearl is adopted, she finds herself in a world of exciting treasures. With the help of her friend and her wits, Pearl goes after her dreams.
Goal setting is difficult to teach, but a concept that is extremely important for preschoolers to learn. Heaton wonderfully illustrates how important it is to make goals that are just out of reach. By brainstorming with her new friend, Peal finds a way to solve her problem and reach her goal.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review!
This cute, sparkly book just shouted at me to be read, so of course I clicked on the Read Now at Netgalley. And boy, this book was adorable, cute, sparkly.
Pearl is a tiny mermaid and she is in luck, today she gets to come to a new home. Pearl is totally happy as she was quite bored at her aquarium in the pet store. Not only does she have a new owner, but she also quickly makes friends with another inhabitant in the fish bowl at her new home.
Then her eyes fall upon a treasure trove. Namely her new owner's jewellery case overflowing with shiny items! Pearl then shows us all that dreams can be made true. If you just try hard enough and never give up. You can also reach those shiny things you may want!
Also where can I buy myself a tiny mermaid? I would love to have one, especially if she can talk and we can have endless fun chats about shiny stuff. :P Defnite plus points for creativity (as I can't remember a book featuring mermaids sold at a pet store).
Oh, I do hope that Pearl and her new friend will get a bigger bowl, it just seems that it is quite tiny for two inhabitants, especially as big as Pearl and her friend are.
The art? ADORABLE! Cute! Sweet! And I just adore the colours (all soft and shiny).
Yep, this is one book I would recommend, be warned it is very cute and sparkly!

This book was super cute! The illustrations are super colorful and engaging. I read this to my cousins and they were in love with Pearl! Highly recommend this one for parents with small children, it's a great bedtime story!

Aww... this book is so cute and is definitely the perfect gift for every little girl. The illustrations are equally pretty as the story. And what's the cherry on the top, it has a positive message. Beautifully narrated, a tale of a little mermaid who is adopted by a little girl. How the mermaid finds a friend and tries to reach what she desires. A must read bedtime tale.
Thank you Netgalley for the copy.
Cassandra S, Reviewer
An adorable book, perfect for bed time stories with your little girl. The colors are beautifully chosen, and a perfect fit for the fun character in the book. The story was short and sweet, and perfect for younger children, probably below the age of 5. There was a hidden message to reach for your dreams, and not to give up once the going gets tough.
I received this from #NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
