ReviewsPreSchool-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.Andrea Tarr, Corona Public Library, CA, Praise for the Platypus books: "Riddell's clean and clear ink-and-watercolor pictures perfectly depict the madcap adventures of this lovable hero."-- School Library Journal "Keep on smiling." --Kirkus Reviews "This duckbill will seem like an old friend to most young listeners." --School Library Journal, Praise for the Platypus books: "Riddell's clean and clear ink-and-watercolor pictures perfectly depict the madcap adventures of this lovable hero."--School Library Journal "Keep on smiling."--KirkusReviews "This duckbill will seem like an old friend to most young listeners."--School Library Journal
