What is Ocean Plastic's Not Fantastic about?
A young dolphin listens as his dad tells a very different kind of ocean tale. Instead of sharks and brave fish, this story is about plastic rubbish that drifts through the sea, harms marine animals and spoils their underwater home. Through lively rhyme and colourful scenes, readers discover how ‘plastic rain’ affects ocean life and learn simple ways people can help, from using less plastic to keeping beaches and waters clean. Together, everyone can help turn the tide.
