Everything is made of stuff. Some things are made of paper, like this book. And some things are made of PLASTIC. If you look around you, plastic is everywhere. Even in places where it’s not meant to be. If it drops to the ground, it doesn’t rot away – it sticks around for ever.

Our world is drowning in plastic, and it’s a big problem. Award-winning author-illustrator Neal Layton is here to explain where plastic comes from, why it doesn’t biodegrade, and why that’s dangerous for animals and humans alike. But he’s also FULL of ideas for how you can help! From giving up straws in juice cartons to recycling all we can and taking part in a beach clean, A Planet Full of Plastic will get young readers excited about how they can make a difference to keep Planet Earth happy.

This brilliant non-fiction picture book, illustrated in Neal’s trademark collage style, is perfect for readers aged 4-7 who love nature and want to help the environment.

This is a fact book. My most interesting part was learning about micro plastics joining the food chain. It’s important for everyone to read this to learn about plastic. Now I feel I can help after reading this book.

I did like it because it did say how I could help the planet because I can do lots of littler walks and help save the planet but I HATED when all the animals are trapped in plastic and all of the sea animals are dying from plastic and they might even become exscinded! So that is why I gave in a 3 out of 5
