Camille's Mermaid Tale (American Girl® WellieWishers™) Paperback – February 9, 2017

Love all the playful songs in this sweet book. Made me tear up too, when needed support and kindness arrived for Camille. Great instructions for using the imagination to connect to dear ones who are far away. Nice portrayal of how our assumptions can be stumbling blocks. Super impressed by the writer’s skill at delivering all this with heart in a little children’s book.

Go great with the folks

These are highly recommended by me for sure they are super cute stories and kids can grow with them to read as I have my 5 yr old that I read to and eventually she will be able to read them herself I really enjoy these stories with her

If you're familiar at all with American Girl's Wellie Wishers, you know that there are five characters/dolls. Each book is focuses on one character, but heavily features the rest. We bought this for our daughter who loves Camille and received the doll complete with mermaid tail for Christmas. The Wellie Wisher books are a great option for early readers. They feature bright illustrations and easy-to-digest sentences, paragraphs and chapters. One of the bonuses is the subject matter. The girls love playing outside and stomping in puddles.

My 6 year old is reading at a chapter book level, but still enjoys books with illustrations. We had a really hard time finding age-appropriate story lines that also challenged her reading skills. The Wellie Wisher books are perfect! Each page has a color illustration. The vocabulary is appropriate for an advanced reader, and the story lines are suitable for younger girls. The story lines seem to all be about being a good friend, empathy, and kindness. The Wellie Wisher show on Amazon is a nice accompaniment to the books (free on Prime!), and helps to reinforce the story line themes. My 4 year old also really enjoyed having the story read to her (Camille is her favorite!) and I'd often find the my older daughter reading the book to her younger sister. Our local library does not carry these books, but I won't mind purchasing more, because it seems my girls will enjoy reading them over and over again.

Cute gift to go with the doll

Great for my 6 year old. Perfect amount of words to keep her going when she really doesn't want to read.

Great series for elementary readers!
