Plato the Platypus Plumber (part-time)
Hazel Edwards Illustrated by John Petropoulos
Despite ferals along the creek bank, Plato is on call to help Zanzibar and his family who are renovating their old creekside house. Lively and colourful illustrations are interspersed throughout the story. Aimed at those interested in imaginative problem solving, this book will appeal to boys and girls, keen on animals, nature or wildlife. And it also asks watery questions about climate issues, such as drought. We also offer a Teachers' Guide and Classroom Performance Script as free downloads (see Links below).
