When Dolphin and Turtle are settling down for a talk, suddenly they hear a Seagull screaming hopelessly for a help. She is choked. A long strip of plastic stuck in her throat.

The beach is littered with plastics, bottles, and cans. So much rubbish, everything is dirty. Seagull says that she tried to be careful of what she pick up to eat, but it was hard to tell which one is the real food.

Turtle remembers when the beach was clean and there were many big healthy fish. Seagull says that it was because people do not seem to understand that when they throw plastic on the ground, it doesn't compost.

As they sit there, children come to the beach. They all have bags said MAKE BALI CLEAN AGAIN!

Turtle, Dolphin, and Seagull watched the children cleaning the beach and the water. And, they watched the children playing happily at that clean beach. They are happy, too.

Mom found this book on a special price at a bookstore (Mom loves rebates very much). And this book is worth to buy. It's great to tell children how to preserve nature.


P.S: there are also a song by Komang Dhananjaya Wishnuputra, and Turtle-Dolphin board game on the last pages.


Ketika Lumba-lumba dan Penyu bersiap untuk berbicara, tiba-tiba mereka mendengar Burung Camar menjerit putus asa untuk meminta bantuan. Dia tersedak.  Potongan plastik panjang tersangkut di tenggorokannya.

Pantai dipenuhi dengan plastik, botol, dan kaleng. Begitu banyak sampah, semuanya kotor. Burung Camar mengatakan bahwa dia mencoba berhati-hati dengan apa yang dia pilih untuk dimakan, tetapi sulit untuk mengetahui mana yang merupakan makanan asli.

Penyu ingat ketika pantai itu bersih dan ada banyak ikan sehat besar. Burung Camar mengatakan bahwa itu karena orang-orang sepertinya tidak mengerti bahwa ketika mereka melemparkan plastik ke tanah, itu tidak kompos.

Ketika mereka duduk di sana, anak-anak datang ke pantai. Mereka semua memiliki tas, kata BERSIHKAN BALI LAGI!

Penyu, Lumba-lumba, dan Burung Camar menyaksikan anak-anak membersihkan pantai dan air. Dan, mereka menyaksikan anak-anak bermain dengan gembira di pantai yang bersih itu. Mereka juga senang.

Mama menemukan buku ini dengan harga diskon di toko buku (Mama suka sekali potongan harga). Buku yang keren untuk mengajarkan anak-anak cara melestarikan alam.

 P. S: ada juga lagu oleh Komang Dhananjaya Wishnuputra, dan papan permainan Penyu dan Lumba-Lumba di halaman terakhir.
