This was a really cute story that teaches children about the importance of properly disposing of plastics and recycling. As someone who lives in a coastal town, I really appreciated the fact that this story is told in a way that makes it easy for children to understand. I really enjoyed the unique characters and illustration style as well. There is even a fun activity at the end that will help your little ones take part in becoming a more eco conscious society!

Plastic Soup is a cute book that teaches children about the issues we are facing without oceans today in a relatable way. It educates them on the root of the problem, and how to help prevent it by taking small steps at home such as helping clean up, repurposing and reusing plastic items, and reducing plastic use where possible.

The cute characters and bright, fun illustrations make it engaging for little ones, and it carries an important message.

Many thanks to Clavis Publishing and NetGalley for the Advance Copy.

Just read this book to my 2 year old son. While he wasnt interest in the story itself, he did really love the fun colors and the animals. As a parent though, I loved the message and plan on sharing the book with my 4 year old nephew who can better understand. I loved that instead of just explaining how the oceans are getting polluted, the author gave a way to recycle what is already out there. So many books focus on prevention and not enough about how to fix the existing problem. Loved this! 5/5

This works as a successful primer for the very young to the idea of oceanic plastic – it's not talking about vortices of it out in the Pacific, or microplastics, it's just pointing out the typical trash you see floating downstream to our coastlines. It has a handy lesson about reusing plastics, if you have to use them at all, and all is jolly and bright. Lesson learnt.

Plastic Soup is an adorable story of a group of friends who learn an important lesson of conservation while spending a day at the beach. The cute illustrations and simple story line are a great way to introduce young children to this important lesson. Plastic Soup does a great job at setting the stage for parent's to have future discussions with their children on how we can help our environment by reducing, reusing, and recycling. After reading it to my 3.5 year old,, he is now very excited to follow the directions in the back to make the reusable bag to take stuff to Grandma's house and finding ways to give more stuff the the recycling man than the garbage man. We highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to begin teaching their children how to love the environment.

A great book to start teaching young children about water pollution and what they can do to help and how they can use less plastic and recycle to help make a difference.
Lovely bright illustrations with relatable characters to hold childrens interest.
I love the title Plastic Soup because it associates well with the story and keeps a bit of fun in it.
