This 2020 CBCA Notable Early Childhood book is a beautifully illustrated story from the talented Renee Treml. It teaches young children not to be afraid of the dark. Mother Platypus teaches Platypup that the things we hear are night are just like in the day and no more scary it just that we can't see them as clearly.

Activities include a comprehension activity on platypus, making a platypus bookmark, a maze to help Platypup find her burrow, reflections like Platypup saw in the water and the life cycle of a platypus.
