Product description

“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
This book is made of material from well-managed FSC-certified forests and other controlled sources

PRAISE FOR SOMEBODY SWALLOWED STANLEY ‘Perfectly judged for pre-schoolers … a neat reuse-and-recycle message, with a memorable no-plastic-in-the-ocean hook’ TLS ‘An ideal springboard for further discussion about protecting the natural world. Lively full-page illustrations accompany the rhythmic, repetitive text, which is perfect to read aloud’ BookTrust ‘This simple, effective and entertaining story speaks powerfully to a new generation of potential eco warriors’ Lancashire Evening Post‘A wonderful book […] A fun and brightly illustrated picture book with a clear message that plastic does not belong in the sea.’ Books for Topics
