Paddy Platypus is the fastest platypus in all of Tasmania. Sir Hugh hears about his speed and comes to
visit and see for himself. Sir Hugh is
so impressed that he enters Paddy in a swim race in California. Paddy wins his first and second race. However, Paddy doesn’t like all of the noise
and crowds. When he learns the third
race is to take place in the ocean, he is thrilled. He is supposed to swim to a small island in
thebay. But, Paddy has other plans. This is a great story about being yourself
and doing things for your own reasons and pleasure, not to please someone else.

Princess Rosalind has the most atrocious manners. She and her dragon sit at the table slurping
their food. The Queen sends them off on
a quest to learn manners. This was a
cute book. The lessons were subtle yet
put in a manner that parents could have a great discussion with their
children. I think this would be great
for all families with young children.

This was a book that is hard to classify. Although it is written similar to a picture boook, the main characters are young teenage girls. This might be good for middle schoolers. The story is told through verse and puns. I loved that the author used vocabulary that was unique and more difficult. There are explanations of unfamiliar things at the bottom of the pages. I think the girls in my class will really enjoy this book.
