You think your family is strange? What if your mom was a mermaid?!
Fans of the magical creatures in the "How to Catch a" series will love this new super-silly picture book that celebrates how ALL families are weird. Includes two pages of stickers!
Mermaid Mom sings whale songs, never gets out of the bath, and tells really corny mom jokes ("How do mermaids send messages? By sea-mail!"). But when her daughter tags along with her to an underwater gig as a kids' party clown, she learns how funny and how special her mer-mom really is.
Young readers will love following this unusual mother-daughter team as they swim off on adventures in a funny and warm new picture book, the start of an exciting series.
With page after page of jokes, puns, and visual gags, this story's humor is perfect for families to read together. It's a book kids will want to go back to over and over. And it makes a perfect gift!
Kids will be eagerly looking forward to the next "My Life Is Weird" book!
