Reviews
"... when it is written as finely and refined as this, and also brought to life with Siri Melchior's recognizable and deeply charming line and palette, you have all the ingredients you need for a wonderful reading experience." – ( The Danish Society for Children's Literature)
"The description of the trip to the swimming pool is so recognizable that the smell of chlorine and French fries is in the nostrils, the sound of happy children's squeals and the slippery floor is clearly felt underfoot. All families with children can reflect on and enjoy the story, where Berta's meeting with the mermaid just adds an extra layer: can a fairy tale creature live in a Danish swimming pool or how is it connected? Siri Melchior's characteristic lines and strong colors are a good match for Berta and her fantastic braids." – (Library review (Lektøranmeldelse)
