A platypus is one of the strangest animals on Earth. There is no other animal like it.
It looks like a beaver with a big duck bill on its face. It also has big fat paws.
It is covered in soft fur. The fur keeps its skin from getting wet when it swims.
The fur is brown on its back. It is lighter on the front.
The fur is so thick that it traps air next to the skin. This helps to keep the platypus warm and to keep it dry when it is swimming. It also helps it to float.

This book is a shortened version of our popular “Platypuses: Mammals That Lay Eggs" and is intended for beginning readers. With only 1135 easy to read words, young children can experience for themselves the joy of learning about the platypus. They will find out the answers to these questions:
What is strange about platypus feet?
What do they use their tails for?
What does a platypus eat?
How big are platypus eggs?
And many more!
