Marvelous Market on Mermaid — Laura Krauss Melmed

This is the yellow bird who sings each time the doorbell ting-a-lings when someone opens up the door- the sky blue door on Grandma's store, the Marvelous Market on Mermaid.

And a marvelous market it is indeed, with all the hustle and bustle of an old-fashioned corner store, the cozy warmth and goodwill of a store-keeping grandma, and the hilarious pandemonium of a cat and mouse chase. Laura Krauss Melmed's spirited verse begs to be read aloud, and Maryann Kovalski's illustrations shine with the fun of this rollicking tale.
