This book was really good, it was nice that Stella took the seagull to the vets and then got everyone to help to pick up all the plastic on the beach as we always see lots of plastic on the beach. I liked how they made a play park out of recycled plastic

A little girl and her granny helped a seagull and took it to the vets - i liked it because it was about looking after our beaches and the creatures that live there.

I thought it was sad that the seagull got hurt and that people didn’t look after the beach but Stella did a nice thing helping all the creatures to live by cleaning the beach.
