"The Whale Who Ate Plastic is a thought provoking picture book that follows a hungry whale who loves to eat. One day he meets a little fish who tells him about plastic. Not knowing that plastic is not food, the whale eats the plastic and feels very poorly indeed. This lovely picture book gently helps young children learn about ocean plastic, ocean pollution, and the importance of limiting plastic use and recycling. It's an excellent opening for further discussion about protecting the natural world. Likewise, if you are looking for books about recycling for kids, Earth Day books for kids, or children's books about environmental issues, then The Whale Who Ate Plastic is a great addition to a child's library in any home or classroom."-- Provided by publisher.
