Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-The lovable star of Platypus and Platypus and the Lucky Day (both Harcourt, 2002) returns in another delightful adventure. Here, the enthusiastic animal decides to throw a birthday party for his favorite stuffed animal. Together, he and his friend Echidna prepare for the event, donning homemade birthday hats, making a cake, blowing up balloons, and building paper chains. When everything is finally ready, they realize that they have forgotten the guest of honor. Lively, watercolor and black-ink illustrations enhance the accessible story. The white backgrounds and simple lines keep the focus on the characters' antics. Although the plot is slight, children will enjoy this warmhearted tale of good friends sharing a special time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Let's Play!, February 20, 2006
By poitzenlock (michigan) - See all my reviews
My 2 year-old daughter loves all of the platypus books by Chris Riddell. They have simple sentences that are easy to follow. I'd put the complexity of the text smack between Maisy (very simple) and Curious George (a little beyond her capabilities at this point). This book features your standard birthday party fare with cake-making, party-hat-wearing and balloons! A big hit around here.
