Platypus! (Step into Reading, Step 2)

I got this for my grandson and he loves it, also loves the book

I got this as an educational aide and it was a smashing success.

My son is a fan of the Phineas and Ferb show and wanted to learn about platypus. I purchased this book and read it to him. He enjoyed the story. It taks about where platypus lives, where and when it looks for food, how it lays and protects its eggs, and how it teaches its babies to swim. All of that in a plain language and in a form of an interesting story. My son is learning to read using the 100 Words Kids Need to Read by 1st Grade: Sight Word Practice to Build Strong Readers book and I suspect that he will be able to read this book on his own soon.

Platypus! (Step into Reading) Nice, but has minimal information about platypuses. No mention of where they live (is it Australia or New Zealand?). Mother P digs a tunnel, lays her eggs, snake tries to get them, they hatch, stay in the tunnel til they are old enough to go out, learn to swim and eat the worms on the bottom of the river, enjoy playing in the water. My 4 year old loves information about animals. Since he watches Finneas and Ferb and their pet, Perry the platapus, my boy was intrigued to learn about them. This book has drawings instead of pictures and is more of a story instead of informational. Although, it does say about how big it is, and that it's a mammal, and has a bill like a duck. I know this is level 2 and sometimes the information isn't as good as level 3 or 4. But still! At least mention where they are found.

Great book

My granddaughter is studying about the Platypus this summer and loves this book. She enjoys the pictures and the ease in reading it.

I ordered this specifically for a first grade student. He loved the book. It was delivered as advertised.

My daughter is a fan of platypus's and requested this book. She loves it and we read it nightly. I recommended it for all children.

Excellent

Nos ha encantado. Se ha utilizado para hacer un trabajo de investigación de este animal de un.niño de 8 años(lengua materna castellano estudia en colegio bilingüe). Podía leerlo él solo y obtener la información que necesitaba.

Great for kids. There is lots of imformation packed in this small book. It was done well.

My daughter (2nd grade) couldn’t find any books at the library on Platypuses and this was the only one I found online for a young reader. It was helpful and easy to read :)

My daughter devoured the book and demands to read it to me everyday. I now know the book verse by verse...
