Platypus play time

PLATYPUS hit the bookshop shelves this week. So it is Happy Dance time for me.

As with all new releases, I am now thinking of ways to present this book in the upcoming weeks of school visits and events that make up BOOK MONTH. (Book Week usually lasts for at least a month these days.)

So today I purchased online another wonderful FOLKMANIS puppet. Pretty cute, huh?


And I have wasted many hours watching numerous funny and informative platypus videos on YouTube. This one rates high on the cute stakes!


I have even found the most annoying platypus song ever! I dare you to listen to it.


So lots of valuable time wasting. And lots of platypus fun ahead, starting with the CBCA Illawarra-South Coast Sub Branch's Literary Luncheon on Wednesday. Food, kids, authors and books - a winning combination.

For the teachers who might stumble on this post, here is a link to some CLASSROOM IDEAS created by WALKER BOOKS.

  1. My boys giggled their way through that song FIVE times before I removed the laptop for the sake of my own mental health! Enjoy Book Week!
