the illustrations were GORGEOUS HOLY HECK!!!!!
i loved how soft and lush this book is! Highly recommend for all the wild at heart!

This was a sweet, cute book with stunning illustrations. Perfect to gift to a child learning to love reading, with a safe story.

This book is so beautiful. Children will adore it. It’s a great poetry book covering Selkies which are not seen in many children’s literature. A great book!

This was a beautifully written children's book about a magical being who is part girl, part seal. The illustrations were absolutely gorgeous and magical. This was a great book to learn about a folklore story.

Stunningly illustrated and complimented with historical content. A beautiful tale of the Selkie with lots to be learnt about how we view ourselves and others. A hidden treasure of a book.

i really enjoyed reading this, the art was great and I really enjoyed the story. I liked the characters and liked the way the author writes.

‘’Οh, to be a selkie,
And live between two worlds
Half your days spent as a seal,
And the other half, a girl....’’

For me, the myth of the selkie embodies the unique character of the Northern Sea. The mentality and tradition and history of the countries that cherish their myths and customs like a beloved member of a marvellous family. Traditions that hover between the real and the supernatural, the serene green and the wild waves of the shores, the song of the sea and the wind, the rocks and the valleys. And somewhere, over the breeze and the sound of the waves, we might hear the selkie lullaby…

This beautiful book depicts an ‘’ordinary’’ year of the selkie from the transformation to a woman to her need to return to the sea. In pictures of unique beauty by Briana Corr Scott, her relationship with the animals, her knitting, the food she cooks, the songs she sings come alive. In Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain, Iceland, Norway and the Faroe Islands, the selkie myth lives on and on...

‘’But every now and then she hears
A voice from deep inside
It calls her back onto the land
The human in her cries.’’

I found the illustrations to this book really beautiful. There is a bit of story to this with a bit of history at the end of it. It follows on little selkie girl. Nice book to read.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

4.5 stars.
The Book of Selkie is a beautifully put together book of poems all about selkies and their lives. Each illustration is absolutely stunning and really fits the poem it accompanies through the book. 

This is a gorgeous and well versed book that children, especially selkie or mermaid lovers will adore.

I must admit that I did not really like this.  I found the illustrations dark, and the style of them mad them look unfinished.  The poems were also quite cheesy.  Not for me.

A beautifully illustrated book with an enchanting tale of a seal girl known as a Selkie who lives along the British shores. 
Gorgeous simple verses explain the life of the Selkie, her love of the sea as a seal and her growing desire to explore the land a a girl. 
A magical, mystical tale. 
I love the historical tale references at the end of the book describing where to search for the Selkie and what clues to look out for.
A very lovely book!

The Book of Selkie is simply magical. 
The artwork is enchanting and the story feels real and true. The reader is instantly transported into the oceanic world, as if it's the most natural thing in the world. 
Selkie is a delight to get to know, and there are unique and quirky additions to the original myth. I loved the idea of "spinning fog" and cooking Selkie dishes.
It's a beautiful book for all ages, one that you will want to read over and over again.
Briana Corr Scott's art is phenomenal. I have paged through so many times, just to stare at the images. Remarkable.

The illustrations in this book were gorgeous. I couldn't keep my eyes off of them. I do think the story was lacking a bit, although I did love the subject matter.

Unable to download before archived as my tablet was damaged and I had been unable to afford a new one until recently. Apologies.

This book is lovely! The art is beautiful and the poem is beautiful. Readers that enjoy learning about mythological creatures will find this book appealing.

This book is amazing! One of my favorite quotes was that: 
 
"As a SEAL, she roams the sea
And rarely wanders home" (Page 6)

Probable because i remembered the time that we could out of our houses with safe, and now that we are in quarantine we cant out without fear to goig to be sick, this book makes me think about it, and did me happy for this. Even with your simply, i thought in that, and this makes that book being especial and different.
The way that Scott chosed to talk about mistific things was soo sweet, the arts and the design make the magic words of her became real. I feel inside me thee power of this book. 
     The arts of all the book is perfect, and i think that should be more perfect if have more texts, but it's a childish book, whatever, i really enjoyed it anyway.

I absolutely love selkies, so I was very excited to receive this book! The Book of Selkie is a beautiful and charming story. For children or parents who love learning about mythical creatures, this is the perfect introduction to selkies. The Book of Selkie explores what selkies eat, where they live, and what they do all day! The prose is lyrical and descriptive. The illustrations are stunning, clearly done with immense care. The use of light and cool tones creates the sense of being underwater, immersed in an ocean where selkies roam. I would highly recommend this book for anyone, regardless of age. The Book of Selkie is available now! Thank you to Briana Corr Scott, Nimbus Publishing, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a simply stunning book and I have already ordered the hardback copy for keeps.  It is the story of the Selkie, a mythical creature, as told through poetry, and how she spends her days. The illustrations are simply stunning and this little gem of a book is one I cannot wait to share with my own children and the children in my class.  Beautiful and stunning.

Before this book existed, I had spent my 19 years knowing nothing at all about the existence of a fable of selkie. Categorized under Children’s books, The Book of Selkie by Briana Con Scott is suitable to be fawned by children and I think adults also can enjoy this fable. The book itself has 24 illustrated pages which are mostly accompanied with simple use of English language in navigating through an anecdote about a selkie’s life. The illustrations are so intricately beautiful, looking so opaque. Undeniably to say it makes the story more interesting, the perfect trap to snag children’s attention. 

This story follows a girl who lives in two different worlds, half-day she has spent as a human, and the other half she turns into a seal. At first, it depicts a journey of the girl who’s been living as a seal and her desire to become a human call for her. The flow of the storyline is so soothing and at the end, the yearning to become a seal again returns, the girl is long gone. But I highly recommend reading this along with the illustrations, so mesmerizing.

I thought that this was a really lovely story.

It was a lovely illustrated poetry book about the legend of the selkie.

It was easy to read and easy to follow too and it had a lovely natural flow.

It is a great way to introduce the legend of the Selkie to children.

It is 4 stars from me for this one - highly recommended!
