Mister Platypus at the Riverbank

Mister Platypus waddles right up to the edge of the wide, leafy river. His funny duck bill stretches out, ready to dip into the cool water, while his flat tail sticks up behind him like a brown paddle. He peers ahead with wide, curious eyes as lily pads float beside his webbed feet.

Tall reeds and smooth stones surround the scene, and leafy trees stand thick along the river’s edge. You can almost hear gentle splashes and frogs hopping nearby. Everything feels peaceful and lively, with so many shapes, ripples, and plants to explore with crayons or markers.

Fun Fact!

Once its cheek pouches are full, or when it needs air, the platypus comes to the surface to eat its collected goodies.
