From the publisher

Last week I saw a mermaid.

It’s not something I’d pretend!

I’d really like to catch her

so she could be my friend.

But how to catch a mermaid?

You don’t learn this in school.

We’ll need to build a gentle trap

and start near the tide pool.

Many claim to have caught a mermaid, but can YOU? Perfect for summer, the newest title in the New York Times bestselling How to Catch series will have children and parents excited to see if these characters can actually pull of catching a mermaid!
