REVIEW

Good news!
When I first reviewed an e-picture book I was enchanted with the magical way the flipviewer turns the pages. I have to admit, I still think this is pretty special and does give a magical quality to these delightful little books.
Now, children and adults alike will love Margot Finke's medley of whimsical Aussie Bush Rhymes, in her new e-picture book called, Don't Eat Playtypus Stew.

Through Finke's engaging rhymes, and Holdsworth's charming illustrations, children all over the world can learn about the platypus, the koala bear, and the kookaburra - animals all found in Finke's native Australia.

But readers probably won't even realize they're learning new information because the text and illustrations are such fun.

Finke even includes a glossary of "Aussie Words" in the back of the book, which is good because no doubt many readers will have no idea what she is talking about when she mentions some of these unfamiliar Aussie terms.

EXCERPT

Who built the Platypus? Ridiculous name!
Was it someone you know, just playing a game?
With fur from the beaver to help keep it warm,
They added webbed-feet to swim up a storm!
Perhaps you'll approve of its duck-like flat bill?
But young laid in eggs? . . . Well I never will!
