The Ripples series has been carefully conceived so that each episode strikes a delicate balance between adventure, fun and education. The subject area of each episode may focus on a particular sea environment (natural phenomena or living things), or concentrate on the main character’s interaction with the human world.
The plot in each episode is closely linked to the features of the characters. The protagonist, a little boy called Ripples, is the one who is best able to act on the information he gathers. The pelican Icarus, who is something of a mentor figure for the group, often has the task of instigating a quest in the earlier stages of the episode. The octopus Polly and the hermit crab Jason provide the comic moments. In each adventure, the importance of friendship and working together are always brought to the fore. On many occasions the members of the group will meet up with new characters, who play a specific role in each story.
