A sweet and quirky story about tiny people living on a floating island and reusing the rubbish they pull from the ocean. The addition of a fun-filled activity pack, stylish pin and bookmark make this a perfect gift.
A wonderful read with important environmental themes to ponder!
The Tindims of Rubbish Island by mother-daughter team Sally Gardner and Lydia Corry is engaging and great fun for girls and boys aged 5+.
The Tindims’ motto is “rubbish today is treasure tomorrow” so they collect and use litter from the sea around them. But when the plastic bottle mountain at the centre of their island becomes so large it threatens to spoil their annual Brightsea Festival, they must work together to fix things before it’s too late.
With short chapters and plenty of illustrations, this book is perfect for kids aged 5+. More confident readers will enjoy reading it alone but it’s also great fun to read aloud.
The accompanying full-colour activity pack includes book club-style questions, facts about plastic pollution, a recipe for fruit surprise cupcakes, instructions for making recycled paper garlands and more.
Our “Hooked on Books” enamel pin can be worn with pride, while our keepsake bookmark, featuring a reading-themed joke, is made to last.
