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: The little mermaid princess is the youngest of five sisters, as each of her sisters turn 15 they are allowed to go to the surface. Every sister brings back stories to tell the others. When it's finally the little mermaid's turn, she finds a handsome prince on a ship celebrating his 16th birthday. She watches him with fondness until a storm erupts, sending everyone on board into the sea. The little mermaid rushes to save the prince and in the process falls in love with him. When she finds out that humans have an eternal soul and merpeople don't, she sets out to get one by getting the prince to fall in love with her. But to do this, she must give up her beautiful voice to the sea witch so that she may have legs instead of a fish's tail. Will the prince fall in love with her? Or will she end up as foam on the sea?
