The story connects that ocean setting to practical ideas about reducing, reusing and recycling, with simple suggestions for children’s own recycling efforts. Its picture-book format also gives families and educators an opening to discuss pollution, sea life and caring for the natural world.

The Whale Who Ate Plastic is a fun, engaging picture book that gently introduces young children to ocean plastic, pollution, and caring for our natural world.

 

Far out in the blue ocean lives a hungry whale who loves to eat. One day, he meets a clever little fish who tells him about plastic. Not knowing that plastic is not food, the whale decides to try it and soon feels very poorly indeed.

 

Through the whale's adventure, young readers discover why plastic can be dangerous for marine life and how even small changes can help protect our oceans.

 

Perfect for children aged 4-8, The Whale Who Ate Plastic:

 

- Gently introduces the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans.

- Helps children understand why reducing, reusing and recycling plastic matters.

- Includes simple ideas to help children begin their own recycling journey.

- Encourages children to see that their actions can make a difference.

- Features vibrant, colourful illustrations and is ideal for reading aloud.

 

A useful starting point for conversations between children, parents and teachers about plastic pollution, recycling, marine conservation and looking after our planet.
