Overview
Dive into the shimmering underwater world of the Emerald Series, a spin-off from the beloved World of Isadora Moon books by Harriet Muncaster. This six-book paperback collection follows Emerald, a young mermaid princess who would rather explore coral reefs and make friends than master royal etiquette. Perfectly sized for early readers ages 5-7 (Grades K-2), each story is short, funny, and beautifully illustrated in two color, making them ideal first chapter books for bedtime, classroom libraries, or independent reading practice. Emerald's warm, relatable adventures build confidence while celebrating friendship, family, and staying true to yourself.

About the Books
Across all six stories, Emerald navigates the ups and downs of growing up as an unconventional mermaid princess who would much rather splash with sea sprites than wave to crowds at royal ceremonies. In Emerald and the Ocean Parade, she worries about disappointing the King and Queen at a big public event, while Emerald and the Sea Sprites finds her and her stepsister Delphina sneaking off to a glimmering coral reef, where they discover three tiny shimmering sea sprites and learn what real responsibility looks like. Emerald and the Lost Treasure explores honesty and generosity when a tempting find turns up in the seaweed, and Emerald and the Runaway Royal sees a visiting royal family stir up palace routines, testing Emerald's balance between duty and her own free spirit. Emerald and the Magic Shell adds another dose of undersea wonder and mischief to Emerald's world, and the collection closes with Emerald and the New Arrival, in which Emerald's mom is expecting a new baby and Emerald must work through her mixed feelings about becoming a big sister. Written by Harriet Muncaster, creator of the internationally popular World of Isadora Moon series, these stories combine gentle humor, sweet friendships, and accessible vocabulary that helps young readers transition from picture books to their first chapter books. Two-color illustrations on nearly every page keep pace with the text, giving early readers plenty of visual support as they build reading stamina and confidence one Emerald adventure at a time.
