Somebody Swallowed Stanley by Sarah Roberts (author) and Hannah Peck (illustrator) (UK edition)

“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
