I am astounded that anyone would give these books more than one star. My daughter and I downloaded two books by this author and found them both horribly written with complete lack of punctuation or even grammar. But decided for yourself. Here's a direct quote from the first page of the story (after 22% of the book being the same teach your child to read tips as the other book):"There were group of island and Ocenica was one of them. Island was full of beautiful flowers and fruits."Ugh. Kids books are expected to utilize simple vocabulary and grammar constructs, but they should still make sense. And making sense requires basic use of grammar--which is utterly lacking in this book. Don't let the pretty cover deceive you.
This is the worst children's book I have ever read. My daughter picked it out while we were skimming and I thought why not. A quote from the book: "“Set her free! Why the hell you kidnapped her. “Said the mermaid to the merman." I of course skipped that line, and just trying to make sense of the grammar in the book was painful. I ended up just making up my own version of the story while pretending to read it. The entire book seems like a horribly translated version of something written in a different language.
Terrible grammar and spelling. Even the title is ungrammatical! Shouldn't it be "The Princess and the Mermaid"? The story itself is not very interesting, although the grammar and spelling improves, possibly an indication of plagiarism?
Are you kidding me?! Is this a product of Google Translate from some foreign language? It is so poorly written, it is barely English. I could not even read it out loud, struggling to make any sense out of the words randomly strung up together. I want my 99 cent (Kindle price) back!
This story was really cute and informative. I felt like it gave just the right amount of information for the recommended age group. The story was just the right length and the accompanying illustrations were perfect.
I purchased this as a $0.99 Kindle book. After the first page, I immediately regretted this waste of $0.99. I think it is a very poor translation of some story. It's full of typos and misspellings as well. It might be useful if you are teaching your child how to proofread.
This is my 2nd book I bought by the author. I thought the first one was fine... short story, good lesson, not many typos, BUT THIS ONE.... was the total opposite. In fact, I checked to make sure they were really the same author that wrote them. This one reminded me of a story originally written in another language that was translated by an online translator.... Very bad grammar, but correct spellings. I will also say, like another reviewer said, I was SHOCKED that a children's book used the phrase "WHY THE HELL...." Totally stunned.I am curious how the authors other books are written. so far, I'm 50/50 with happy and totally shocked.
This is the worst children's book I have ever read! Terrible punctuation and grammar. This HAD to have been translated from another language. Beyond the obvious lack of editing, the story wasn't well suited for children with the kidnapping, threats of death, and use of the word "hell". If I had paid for this book, I'd most certainly be requesting my money to be returned.
