The Platypus (Picture Roo Books)

It is important for children to understand the cycle of life, while learning that with such understanding comes responsibility. A responsibility to the environment.The "Picture Roo Book Series" does just that. In each title, Pauline Reilly, aided by the illustrations of Will Rolland, explains the life cycle of an animal native to the Australian region. Written in a style simple enough for younger children, but containing a wealth of facts, these books will aid in shaping a positive view of wildlife and the world.

For children who wish to learn about exotic animals, and who want to gain a better understanding of the natural world they live in, the "Picture Roo Book Series" will open doors to understanding.
