Is it a Mermaid?
By Candy Gourlay
Illustrated by Francesca Chessa
As seen on Milkshake TV, this warm-hearted, sun-drenched story is about kindness and friendship – with a touch of magic
“I AM A BEAUTIFUL MERMAID!” declares the Dugong, and she shows Benji and Bel her mermaid tail (rather big) and her mermaid singing (very bad). Is she really just a “sea-cow” – or could the Dugong be a mermaid after all?
