Camille's Mermaid Tale (American Girl® WellieWishers™)

My 6 year old is reading at a chapter book level, but still enjoys books with illustrations. We had a really hard time finding age-appropriate story lines that also challenged her reading skills. The Wellie Wisher books are perfect! Each page has a color illustration. The vocabulary is appropriate for an advanced reader, and the story lines are suitable for younger girls. The story lines seem to all be about being a good friend, empathy, and kindness. The Wellie Wisher show on Amazon is a nice accompaniment to the books (free on Prime!), and helps to reinforce the story line themes. My 4 year old also really enjoyed having the story read to her (Camille is her favorite!) and I'd often find the my older daughter reading the book to her younger sister. Our local library does not carry these books, but I won't mind purchasing more, because it seems my girls will enjoy reading them over and over again.

These are highly recommended by me for sure they are super cute stories and kids can grow with them to read as I have my 5 yr old that I read to and eventually she will be able to read them herself I really enjoy these stories with her

My six year old loves these little wellie wisher stories and this one is her favorite! Such a sweet little story and it keeps her interested in the book since these are little chapters books. We will read one to two chapters a night and it’s perfect! Also these will be great books for ones who are getting established with reading on their own :).

Love all the playful songs in this sweet book. Made me tear up too, when needed support and kindness arrived for Camille. Great instructions for using the imagination to connect to dear ones who are far away. Nice portrayal of how our assumptions can be stumbling blocks. Super impressed by the writer’s skill at delivering all this with heart in a little children’s book.

My daughter loves these books. She is in 4th grade and is a struggling reader. So often times books that would interest her are too difficult to read and books that are at her reading level are too immature. The Wellie Wishers books by American Girl are just perfect. They are interesting enough for my 9 year old while not too challenging. The chapters are manageable and give her a great feeling of accomplishment. They've actually done wonders for her confidence. The illustrations are also really nice. I would definitely recommend these books.

My 5 year old really enjoyed this story. The themes were sweet and age appropriate. Nothing profound but fun. We will probably explore some of the other Wellie Wisher stories now.

My 8 year old daughter, who loves to read but has a short attention span, read this book from cover to cover without putting it down once. She really enjoyed the story, and I was thrilled to see her so engaged. I haven't read it myself yet, but judging from her reaction to it, it's yet another excellent book for children from American Girl. She has several other Wellie Wishers books but this one seems to be her favorite.

Cute gift to go with the doll

Great read for independent reading age 7-8

I based my purchase of this book for my grand daughter's upcoming 5th birthday (she reads at a grade one level; I'm so proud of her, and encourage her to read more) on the many great reviews it was given by parents, grandparents and child caregivers. I have not read the book myself....I have already wrapped it and shipped it to my son and d-i-l to give my grand daughter on her upcoming birthday. No doubt, she will let me know what she thought of the book, as she has done with all the other books I have bought her. Will let you know!

Granddaughter delighted

Great book for granddaughter
