Plato Plenter has a problem! He wants to make a wildlife presentation about an elusive Australian creature called a platypus.

The trouble is that his helper, otherwise known as a pleasingly pleasant, plush, plucky, playful platypus, has different ideas about what should be in the presentation.

Join Plato on this funny adventure and discover more about this unique Australian creature, the platypus! Beware, though, you cant believe everything you read.

WHATS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS APP?

Our stories are designed to help children develop a love of reading. We do this by using:

•Rhyme: This helps children to read word families and develops reading confidence.
•Rhythm: Helps children recognise patterns in words and sentences and makes reading a pleasure.
•Repetition: Allows children multiple opportunities to recognise, revisit and master written words.
•Humour: Engages children in the text.

We aim for our books to:
•Foster a love of language
•Build and extend vocabulary
•Capture childrens interest
•Inspire creativity
•Kindle imagination.

Each story contains GUIDE NOTES for parents/educators which suggest activities and experiences which will extend childrens learning based on concepts introduced in the books.
