“Plastic bags don’t belong in the sea!”

  • As read by Tom Hardy on Cbeebies Bedtime Stories

Everybody has a taste for Stanley – and the other ocean creatures just keep mistaking him for a delicious treat – but this is no ordinary jellyfish.

Most jellyfish have dangly-gangly tentacles, but Stanley has two handles?

Other jellyfish have a magical glow, but Stanley has stripes?

Because Stanley (spoiler alert) is a plastic bag!

A beautifully illustrated picture book with a powerful message about plastic pollution from environmental expert Sarah Roberts.

  • The perfect gift to introduce children to the issues of plastic in our oceans
  • Brilliant for teachers to read to children in class when introducing them to pollution issues
  •
