Bring Hans Christian Andersen's beloved story of a marvelous little sea creature to life with this delightful colouring book. Eight ready-to-colour scenes recall memorable moments in the charming tale, among them the little mermaid's discovery of a shipwrecked young prince, her pact with the evil Sea Witch, and her transformation into a human being.The pictures are printed on special paper that allows light to shine through it. First cut the pages from the book as neatly as you can. Then colour the pictures, using crayons, felt-tip pens, or paints. You'll get particularly interesting effects if you colour both sides, using different colours on the backs than on the fronts. When the pictures are taped to a window, the sunlight shines through them, the way it shines through coloured glass!Please refer to the inside back cover for colouring hints and identifications for the scenes. The order of the pages is your key to the identifications, so make a record of them before removing the pages from the book.
