Join mermaids Sara, Alix, and Lucy on an exhilarating underwater adventure in The Fin-Tastic Arctic by Laura Mancuso. Every winter, the three mermaids travel to the Arctic Dune to meet with their friends, Rory, Ella, and Winter, and this year is no different. After arriving at their destination, the mermaids start enjoying the sights and their favorite playgrounds when they see their friend Patty Puffin with oil stuck to their body. The mermaids help Patty clean off the oil and begin their next planned activity; to ride the frosty peaks on sleds. But now, they must help a baby polar bear named Puck, who is floating away from his family, find his way back home. Noah, a narwhal, and Kiki, a local village girl, are going to join the mermaids in their mission to bring Puck home.
The Fin-Tastic Arctic is an uplifting adventure tale that brings to light the increasingly relevant issue of climate change and demonstrates how it impacts the environment, oceans, and different living beings worldwide. Author Laura Mancuso has written an inspirational story using rhyming verses that showcase the power of friendship and the importance of working together to make the world a better place for all. Full of humor and heart, this picture book is a joy. Illustrator Jenna Guidi's beautiful artwork elevates the tale and makes it even more enjoyable for the reader. Young readers are going to love the different animals featured in this story. Recommended to all readers below the age of nine.
