\ Children's Literature\ - Marianne Mitchell\ In a refreshing Spanish translation, Susan Blackaby returns to the original Hans Christian Andersen story, The Little Mermaid. The mermaid saves a prince from drowning after his ship sinks in a storm. When the prince wakes up on a beach, he mistakenly thinks a young girl he sees there is the one who saved him. The little mermaid wants to win his heart, but in order to appear in human form with legs, she must trade her lovely voice to an undersea witch. Even though she now can walk and be with the prince, she cannot talk or tell him she was the one who saved him. So the prince decides to marry the girl he met on the beach. The mermaid's sisters try to help by trading their hair for a knife to kill the prince. But the little mermaid's love is so strong, she refuses. She throws herself into the sea and goes to heaven. The power of love and sacrifice is not too strong for young readers. The artwork also maintains a folktale simplicity in its simple but lively drawings. This is a Green Level book of the "Read-it! Readers" series.\ \
