This book has some of the most amazing illustrations and is truly spectacular. I loved the story about Hans Christian Andersen as well. What a real treasure!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. apprpriate souvenier for disney worlds the little mermaid mermaid:ariels undersea adventureBy Mr. SwittersRead this story just after visiting the new disney world magic kingdom little mermaid ride. Hate souveniers; never manage to keep them but wanted something to mark this visit. Feels as though this ebook; though not physically purchased at the park though bought during the visit there; has the essence of a true souvenier that will always be there in cyberspace for me. Many Beautiful illustrations.
