A warm and funny eco-adventure with a clever message about looking after our blue planet, perfect for budding David Attenboroughs!
When Little Fish and her family encounter an odd new fish bobbing along on its own, they embark on an exciting journey to reunite it with its family. But Odd Fish isn’t the only creature who needs Little Fish’s help. Turtle has a tummy ache and Octopus’s tentacles are tangled. Clever readers will spot the one thing that links them all . . . plastic. Maybe Odd Fish doesn’t belong in the sea after all? Eight million tonnes of plastic find their way into our oceans and rivers every year. That’s equal to dumping one rubbish truck every minute into the sea! This urgent problem is highlighted for the youngest readers with gentle humour and engaging characters, and offers practical ways we we can all make a real difference to protect our oceans and the creatures that live in them, and opens up key discussions about the environment and the topical issues highlighted in David Attenborough’s Blue Planet.

A wonderful story of helpful fish, marine pollution and a great lesson to learn for all
I liked this story
I loved this book because it made me realise how these fish have been seeing these bottles and nets as they think they are there own and I found it soup sweet that little fish decided to help to try find the odd fish's family. Thank you to libraries who give out life changing books like these.
Love the book and story and after reading manage to retell the whole story
A subtle approach to a serious subject. Plastic pollution in the ocean. A narrative about a fish trying to help the odd fish (plastic bottle) to find its family. Great factual page at the end on how plastic is encroaching and damaging our oceans and it’s life. Great for opening discussions with children in KS1, lower KS2.
