Little Hector and the Big Idea
In his second adventure, Little Hector takes on a huge challenge—fishing nets and plastic rubbish are endangering his beautiful bay. The situation seems impossible when, suddenly, the tiny dolphin has a big idea...
Little Hector schemes to stop his bay being spoiled with bottles, bags, and dangerous tangling nets in this sparkling sequel to Little Hector and the Big Blue Whale.
Little Hector's games with his friends keep getting spoilt. When it's not by dangling, tangling fishing nets, it's by a mess of plastic trash. He wants to make the bay safe for all the marine creatures to play in again—but how will one little dolphin tackle such a BIG problem?
Find out what we can all do to help keep our coastal waters beautiful and safe for Little Hector and his friends in this delightful sequel to Little Hector and the Big Blue Whale by Ruth Paul, the award-winning author of I am Jellyfish.
