Plucky Platypus Plays in the Pond

One happy platypus peeks out from behind a bush, its bill stretching wide in a gentle smile. Down below, another platypus curls up in tall grass, looking snug and ready for a nap. Nearby, a curious platypus checks on three large eggs resting on the riverbank, while a friend paddles through the ripples with tiny splashes all around.

Across the page, more platypuses waddle and scamper through leafy clumps, their webbed feet pressing into the muddy shore. Fluffy clouds float over the quiet pond, tall grass sways in the breeze, and smiling platypus faces peek out from every corner. Each little scene is busy with movement, making the pond feel full of friendly fun.

Fun Fact!

A platypus has a broad, flat tail that looks a bit like a beaver's tail, and the platypus uses its tail for steering in the water and storing extra body fat.
