I don&#8217;t know why she swallowed a shark, but it left no mark! <\/p>\n<p>Scholastic&#8217;s bestselling Old Lady is starring in a brand-new adventure series that will make you laugh AND learn! In this new spin-off, the Old Lady turns into an Old Mermaid, travels down into the ocean, and swallows a shark&#8230; and a squid, and a fish, and an eel, and a crab, and a sea star, and a clam&#8230; Why? Well, it was fun to cram her mouth with a clam! <\/p>\n<p>Two new characters lead the reader through this hilarious adventure while exchanging some awesome facts about the creatures down under for a light take on nonfiction that&#8217;s perfect for this age. With expanded sea creature back matter and a search-and-find game at the end, this Old Mermaid is making quite a splash!<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong>This is written in the same style as all the other books. However, instead of an old lady swallowing things it&#8217;s an old mermaid. I must admit it is an interesting change in events.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy these books because they are rather silly. The illustrations always coincide with the words upon the pages. I honestly can&#8217;t wait until my 20 month old finds her sense of humor. I&#8217;m hoping that she will find these books just as silly as I do. I look forward to when that day comes.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend this book for any child that has a sense of humor, has enjoyed pools in this series before or just likes silly stories. It will make a great addition to their library. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 There was an old mermaid who swallowed a shark.
