About this item

Noodles' & Albie's Mermaid Parade is the third fun penguin picture book in the N & A series. When Noodles & Albie overhear Jon & Ken (a pair of penguin researchers) on the Antarctic Ice talking about Coney Island, the amusement park and the annual Mermaid Parade the day before they set off for home and the parade, they convince Jon and Ken to take them along and they all embark on a 6000 mile sea adventure, stopping in the Falkland Islands and meeting other penguins (King Henry and Rocco Rockhopper) who join them, saving an oil tanker from grounding on rocks thereby averting a huge environmental disaster, and eventually making it to Coney Island just in time for the legendary Mermaid Parade. The book is a 32 page, 8.5" x 11" hardcover book, with 16 wonderful illustrations by Paige Monte. This book is for children between the ages of 4 and 8, and of course parents will love it too.
