Review "Lavishly illustrated... depicting a menagerie of human-animal water spirits, including the duckfooted lamia of northern Spain and Vatea, the laterally split human/dolphin ancestor of Cook Islands inhabitants. The Mermaid Atlas also feels more organized, orienting young readers (ages 7-11) with a map at the beginning of each section."
