Don’t Eat Platypus Stew
A Medley of Whimsical Aussie Bush Rhymes
Written by Margot Finke
Illustrated by Rebecca M. Holdsworth

When I first reviewed an e-picture book I was enchanted with the magical way the flipviewer turns the pages. I have to admit, I still think this is pretty special and does give a magical quality to these delightful little books.

Now, children and adults alike will love Margot Finke’s medley of whimsical Aussie Bush Rhymes in her new e-picture book called Don’t Eat Playtypus Stew.

Through Finke’s engaging rhymes and Holdsworth’s charming illustrations, children all over the world can learn about the platypus, the koala bear, and the kookaburra – animals all found in Finke’s native Australia.

But readers probably won’t even realize they’re learning new information because the text and illustrations are such fun.

Finke even includes a glossary of “Aussie Words” in the back of the book, which is good because no doubt many readers will have no idea what she is talking about when she mentions some of these unfamiliar and silly sounding terms.

This second new e-picture book by Margot Finke teaches children about animals that may be a bit more familiar than the typical “Aussie animals” in her other new book.

Yet, it includes facts about each creature that WILL be new information to most readers.

Prairie dogs, Bald Eagles, and skunks are all subjects for her charming rhymes in her ebook, Prairie Dog’s Playday.

Detailed illustrations make the action easy to follow.

Do you know what skunks eat for breakfast?

Or, how Bald Eagles take care of their young, or how prairie dogs protect themselves from other animals?

You will after reading this cute book.

Story time truly takes on a magical feel with these two new delightful e-picture books from Margot Finke. They are both very affordable, too, making them perfect additions to any child’s e-library.
