Platypus Sings Beside the Pond

A chubby platypus settles on a smooth rock, right at the edge of a gentle pond. He stretches his neck and opens his wide, flat bill to splash droplets into the air. Long grasses frame both sides of the scene, swaying in the breeze.

Two lively dragonflies buzz above him, their wings spread wide and their eyes watching the busy little platypus down below. Ripples circle the rock, making the pond water look cool and fresh. Every bit of the page feels full of wiggly energy—from webbed toes to darting dragonflies.

Fun Fact!

During the day, a platypus usually rests in a cozy burrow dug into the bank of a river or stream.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Layer a few blues and greens in the water for a splashy look.
  2. 2 Add yellow or orange to make the dragonflies bright and shiny.
  3. 3 Use a brown crayon for the platypus, but color his bill and feet grey for a real-life touch.
