Stanley the shark! He doesnt care for her squeaky unicorn. And hes far too busy for the Sea Horse Carousel. And oh GOODNESS! Oonas latest hopping, chopping, and poppinginventions just make him angry.

Oona may not know what Stanley likes, but she does know what hedoesnt. And maybe thats a good place to start. Because mermaids never stop tryingnot when theres a friend out there to make.
