Platypus (Mondo Animals)

Rating:
Summary: This is a really good book!
Review: It is a good book because it tells you about the life of a platypus. It tells you what it eats, where it lives in Aultralia. This is a good book for anyone who likes platypuses.

Summary: My fave animal
Review: The platypus is one of the weirdest creatures on earth and has been my favourite since I was old enough to walk (or so it seems ;)). This book is simple, straight forward, and offers good information as well as pictures of this elusive creature. I bought this book to add to my collection when I was 19 y/o. Doesn't matter what age you are, this is a great book. =)

Summary: A good book for children
Review: There are great pictures and a large amount of facts about the platypus in this film. However, I should have taken a hint from the name of the series - "Mondo Animals" - that this is a children's book. There's nothing wrong with that; it just should have been clearer from the description. The language is extremely simplistic. I can imagine a 4th or 5th-grader using this book as a basis for a report. But if you're looking for an adult-level treatment of this subject, keep looking.
