Adapted from Julia Donaldson’s book of the same name by two of the UK’s leading theatre companies for children, this magical use of puppets, songs by the award-winning Barb Jungr and a good helping of bad sea jokes, is the perfect seasonal treat for ages 3-8! Een mooi met glitter (zoveel glitter) gevuld prentenboek over een zeemeermin die blijkbaar geen water nodig heeft om te overleven op het land. Ze gaat, met haar niet slimme hoofd, een deal aan met het circus (ondanks dat al haar vriendjes heel duidelijk zeggen dat het niet een goed idee is, maar waarom zou je luisteren?), en je mag zelf al raden hoe dat eindigt. Wel een leuk einde met een hele goede oplossing, kunnen we dit ook aan de andere meerminnen vertellen. Maar ja, die hebben dan weer het hele water is leven ding, dus misschien werkt het toch niet zo goed.
