As a teacher and one that is passionate about environmental issues, I'm always looking for books that gently get the message across to our children. This is one such book. It left me with a smile on my face. I would imagine that after reading this, children will be eager to get to the beach and follow the actions of the two children in the book. It will, hopefully, make them look at the world with more understanding about our effects on it and encourage them to be more caring.The words are gentle and the watercolour pictures make you feel that you are there - a part of the story. Suitable for primary children.
