Kids will love the hilarious story of Poppy the plastic bag and her best friend, the coffee cup, Number Twenty Three. They’ve been left in the sea off Dee Why, but Poppy is determined to make the best of it and lead a sea rescue mission to save fish and marine life!
The only problem is – she’s part of the problem! Their efforts only make things worse. They end up hurting all the fish and sending them to fish hospital.
