Description

Awarm and funny eco-adventure with a clever message about looking after ourblue planet, perfect for budding David Attenboroughs!
When Little Fish and her family encounter an odd new fish bobbing along on its own, they embark on an exciting journey to reunite it with its family.

But Odd Fish isnt the only creature who needs Little Fishs help. Turtle has a tummy ache and Octopuss tentacles are tangled. Clever readers will spot the one thing that links them all . . . plastic.

Maybe Odd Fish doesnt belong in the sea after all

Eight million tonnes of plastic find their way into our oceans and rivers every year. Thats equal to dumping one rubbish truck every minute into the sea!

This urgent problem is highlighted for the youngest readers with gentle humour and engaging characters, and offers practical ways we we can all make a real difference to protect our oceans and the creatures that live in them, and opens up key discussions about the environment and the topical issues highlighted in David Attenborough's Blue Planet.

Reviews

A gentle tale which effectively gets across the message [] The real fish are very lively, and children will enjoy their little conversations. The beautifully ocean toned images and clever page design are very engaging. The authors note with information about pollution and how you can help at home and at school makes this a very useful introductory text for environment topics.
Joy Court, Editorial Expert at LoveReading4Kids

A sophisticated look at plastic pollution in a beautifully told and at times heartache-inducing story of one fishs attempt to help odd fish find their family.
