Platypus

The gentle text is informative, but is also poetic, with the feel of the nighttime meanderings. This is reinforced in the dusky colours of the mixed media illustrations. -- Sally Murphy * Aussie Reviews * Top five science books of 2015 * ABC Online * Platypus is essentially an older children's informative picture book - perfect for mid/upper primary independent readers and as a teaching tool for junior grades. It is a must include in Australian school libraries. * Reading Time * This is a beautiful book that children will enjoy as a read aloud (aged 5 to 8 years) or read to themselves to find out about this fascinating creature (ages 6-9 years). * Literacy, families and learning * The language is wonderful, using the correct terminology and not talking down to the audience, making the reader ask questions. * Read Plus *
