Plato, an eco-warrior, and part-time plumber fixes watery problems like leaking taps, but he also fixes grumpy people with jokes or a smile spray. His tool kit is legendary. Despite ferals along the creek bank, Plato is on call to help Zanzibar and his family who are renovating their old creekside house. Lively and colourful illustrations are interspersed throughout the story. Aimed at those interested in imaginative problem solving, this book will appeal to boys and girls, keen on animals, nature or wildlife. And it also asks watery questions about climate issues, such as drought. We also offer a Teachers' Guide and Classroom Performance Script as free downloads (see Links below).

Review:

Kyle Donohue (8) Park Orchards Primary (Vic)

I liked the title Plato the Platypus. The smile spray was really cool and the Feral Cat was good.

The smile spray was a good idea because it actually worked. I need some of it at my house sometimes. When Dad blocked the toilet it was funny.
