Hello!
I have been looking for a book for a few years now. I had it as a child in the early 2000s but I don’t know how old the book is. I really desperately want to find this book as it meant something special to me. I’m going to describe it as best I can and what I’ve found. It’s an anthology.

  1. The art work on the front was Huw Aaron and it had monkeys. (I’ll always remember those monkeys eyes)
  2. It was brown and thick and I’m pretty sure it had the brown on the front at the top and bottom of the book.
  3. It had a story in it of a mermaid and a little girl, the girl was crying on a rock because the sea came in and the mermaid helped by collecting her tears and made them into a neckless for her so she could get back to shore.
  4. It had farm story’s in from the animals perspective.
  5. I’m pretty sure it was penguin publishing as that was popular when I was a kid but I could be wrong.

(Also all the story’s had different art work)

Please please any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I’ve tried for so long to find it.
