Purrmaids; Seasick Sea Horse is the third in a series of six early readers about the adventures of kitten/mermaids in Kittentail Cove.  This paperback title tells the tale of Shelly who cares for and loses the class pet, a sea horse.   Though the storyline is slight primary grade female readers will be intrigued by the cute kitten/mermaids.  Black and white line drawings help to depict the action and express emotions of these adorable fantasy animals.  The cover illustration alone will incite readers.

Placed in an early classroom or collected by public libraries this book and the other five titles in the series will be a success.  They are good second level readers that have satisfying stories and docile adventures.  Collect where easy reader paperbacks are circulated in public and school libraries.
