A simple but cute informative story." - Richmond Public Library The animal friends are spending the day at the beach. Frog jumps in the water and comes up with a torn plastic bag on his head. Fox thinks Frog looks like a sea monster! But the plastic bag isn’t the only thing that floats in the water. Why is there so much plastic in the sea? A simple and colorful picture book to introduce children to water pollution and little changes that can make a big difference. For children ages 5 years and up. Guided Reading Level K

"This was a cute book with great illustrations highlighting the plastic pollution in the ocean. They talk about reusing plastic and even reuse the plastic bags as kites, but it would have been nice to see more conversations/actions regarding the other R’s. Great starter book to have the pollution conversation with children at an early age. " - Bookseller at Indigo Books and Music "I enjoyed this book. I think that it simply presented the problem of the amount of plastic that our country consumes and the reason why it is a problem (because it ends up in the oceans. I think that the illustrations are wonderful and it is a great visual presentation of the plastic problem. The introduction to all the characters int he beginning of the book was adorable, I think it is a great way for the kids to relate to which character they may be. I think that this would be a great book to read out loud to a class." - VIPKID "A group of animal friends discover that much of the plastic we use ends up cluttering the ocean.
