I loved it because it was full of songs and it passed on a good message about the sea and pollution.

I thought the book was great because it had fish in it and also I liked it because people helped to tidy up the garbage that was on the beach.

It was a good book even though it's full of rubbish (!). You should read the book. It made me think about the noise that whales make and also sea dragons and people put too much rubbish in the sea. It made me sad that it hurt the animals in the sea.

I like the activities, where I have to find the plastic waste on the street. I tool the challenge of putting the plasic in the jar. Did litter survey on the street.

It was good because the whale found some friends and they picked up the rubbish at the end and Setsuko made a friend. I liked Setsuko the best. I would recommend this to someone else.

Fiction book. I liked this book a little bit because it was slow and steady and calm. I liked the pictures and the pictures of the sea. It has Japanese writing in it. I would definitely recommend it. I learnt that people can help save the beach by collecting up the plastic in the ocean and it teaches you to be kind to others.

I love this book, because a whale sang a song to Setsuko and she passed this song to people.
