I liked this book because it tells everyone not to throw litter in the water. It was a happy book, then it had a sad bit, but it had a happy ending.

I liked that the turtle was rescued and had the bag taken out of her tummy. It was a really cool story and saving animals is great. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
