From the Back Cover
Peter's special place is teeming with wildlife, until one black night a tanker founders in the treacherous waters and foul-smelling oil spills over the shore. Despite a big clean-up operation and the healing passage of time, Peter's place will never be quite the same again.
Shortlisted for the Smarties Prize
'A joy to read aloud. This is the perfect book to introduce the area of environmental issues to young children.' Child Education
'A rich text and atmospheric illustrations create a powerful environmental message.' Junior Education
