OBP is another material used in the collection it is found within 50km from shores where waste management is inefficient and is estimated to generate 80% of plastic marine litter. These beloved creatures are produced with rPET, a material made from recycled plastic bottles that undergoes the process of cleaning to remove contaminants, color separation, shredding and melting down before reforming it into new materials to produce containers and other packaging. The collection comprises a variety of toys, dolls, textiles, and home furnishings for children with favourite marine animals featured, including a turtle, dolphin, whale, octopus and many more. The collection is filled with rPET (Recycled PET) and Ocean-bound Plastic (OBP), raising awareness of marine debris among children while encouraging them to learn and take part in reducing the volume of litter.

If this book had been read in a straightforward way, I would have rated it higher.The Blåvingad collection at Ikea is inspired by children’s interest to spark play and curiosity about the world under the sea, from tots to tweens. We want to listen, but we are not attending a bad play. Even Georgia, the main character, sounds like a young girl with less than a full deck of cards. Cat sounds like a 12 year old Valley Girl. James sounds like Uncle Tom with a mouthful of peanuts. When the narrator assigns an attitude to a part, she is deciding how we accept each character.

I prefer to have books read without fake voices for each part. MacDuffie also has a particularly hard time doing children without making them seem peevish and whiny.

I do not know what the narrator's experience is with African Americans from the south but the Jim Crow accents she used were awful.

The accents of the voices, most particularly that of the African Americans, were rather offensive. The Friday Night Knitting Club was a good book BUT.I was very put off by the manner in which this book was read.
