Carmine Helps Out

Adventure book about plastics in the ocean and the harm to our sea friends.

This is the story of Carmine the blue crab and how he and some of his friends work to save the ocean from plastics.  The story starts out with grumpy Carmine agreeing to help Helen the seagull who has a hurt wing, back to her home.  Along the way, the pair run into several other sea creatures that need help, due to harmful plastics.  Walter the whale has a plastic bottle stuck in his blowhole; Lizzy the turtle has a straw stuck up her nose. But, when Carmine finds himself tangled in some plastic, that is the final straw.
