Review: Enjoyed the story of the platypus in South Australia
Rating: 4 out of 5

I wanted to read this book to my grandchildren, a chapter at a time, and I did just that recently. Even though it is categorised as a children's book I found it more interesting than they did I think. Even though I am from Australia and so am familiar with the platypus I learned a few new facts about them.I think this book is more suited to older children, youth and adults than to children under 10 years because of its language. My 6 year old grandson wanted me to comment that he got bored with the information on being environmental friendly and just wanted to get back to the story of the platypus. I think that explains why I recommend this book for an older age group as my 10 year old granddaughter enjoyed it as much as I did.Its obvious in the writing that the author knows his subject well and I would recommend this book. I would have given this book a 5 star rating but for the images being too small to really see well on my Kindle Keyboard.  I will definitely look at the author's other book on Kangaroos.
