Never really loved the story of little mermaid, as it's tragic and I'm kind of afraid of mermaids...But this one is the disney version, so at least it got a happy ending...

Disney's The Little Mermaid is a classic, and I hope my niece will enjoy this Christmas present. It is just a simple retelling of the plot of the movie, but it's still a nice read.

Another childhood favorite story which I read a billion times. Ariel is my most favorite Disney princess. I watched the movie and the TV series SO many times as a kid.

This book was very difficult to rate, as some stories deserved 5 stars (Five Peas from the Same Pod, The Little Mermaid, The Little Match Girl) while others deserved only 1-2 stars.
My opinion of Hans Christian Andersen also ranged from brilliant to cracked.
So...
But overall, I think that I would get this book for my kids/godchildren. We would just perhaps read our favorite stories and skip some of the other ones.

Yes it is shameful that I have NEVER read The Little Mermaid until now.
I really enjoyed this short children’s classic! I think the illustrations would be more beautiful in book form rather than kindle form.
The message I got from this story is to treasure what you already have in life!
A lovely classic! Very enjoyable.
Thank you Netgally for allowing me to review this little treasure.
Release date - March 2020.

Reading for research purposes, 'Ursula' is 10x creepier in this original version xx
