Mermaids!!!
Hi friends, it's Percy! Did you know that narwhals are sometimes called the unicorns of the sea? My friend Natalie Narwhal says mermaids are pretty awesome.

Oona and the Shark

Happy Salmon is a simple and silly card game. Players call out the action shown on their cards as fast as they can. When two players have a match, they celebrate by performing the action, like a "High 5" or the delightfully weird "Happy Salmon". The first person to get rid of all their cards wins. Happy Salmon is perfect to take to camp or vacation!
