Publisher's Synopsis
Practice cursive handwriting in a challenging new way!
The Trace-A-Story series publishes classic stories in traceable cursive and manuscript handwriting. This gives children extra practice in a more challenging setting and gives them a reason to complete the practice book. Every story is broken up into sections so that it's not too intimidating. One section per day is ideal, but since every person learns at different speeds, more or less can be done per day.
Story Summary: A human-boy wishes for a baby brother while a mer-baby wishes for a family that will love him. A wise old stork hears them both and arranges for the mer-baby to become part of the human-boy's family as long as the identity of the mer-baby is kept a secret by the human-boy. Everything goes good for awhile, then the mermaid begins searching for her baby. Will the mer-baby's mother find him and bring him home to the sea? Or will the human-boy keep his little brother's secret to keep him on land?
