Books with title Platypus

Plato the Platypus lives in the rainforest of Tasmania, an Australian island. While diving in the river for food, he meets other animals who are confused by his appearance. They all think he needs to be more like them. Plato tries unsuccessfully to fly like a duck, eat like a Tasmanian devil, climb like a bearded dragon, crow like a rooster, and chew down trees like a beaver. In the end, he realizes he does not need to be like these other animals. He only needs to be himself. This book will teach your children about Platypuses through a fun and intriguing story. At the end of the book, discover more information about platypuses and the animals Plato encounters. The illustrations in this book were made with recycled materials.

Platypus decides it's the perfect day to go collecting. He finds a big rock, an old shoe and a broken umbrella, but none of these are quite what he's looking for. Then he finds a curly shell - just right! But it keeps going missing from his special box. The 'thief' turns out to be a little hermit crab living inside the shell so Platypus takes it back to the sea where it belongs. Luckily there are plenty of unoccupied shells for Platypus to collect - and keep.
