Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The playful hero returns in his third book, Platypus and the Birthday Party by Chris Riddell. Platypus and his friend Echidna, a spiny-coated fellow (similar to a porcupine) host a birthday party for Bruce, a toy platypus. Together they make an "echidna cake," blow up balloons, which pop on Echidna's quills, and make decorations. The party is so much fun that Platypus says "Let's have another one tomorrow!" Humorous, expressive illustrations of the duck-billed, web-footed Platypus and his quill-covered friend complement the buoyant text. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
Children's Literature
The charming star of Platypus and Platypus and the Lucky Day (both Harcourt, 2002) returns in his third book. In this adventure, the spirited animal decides to throw a birthday party for his favorite stuffed animal, Bruce. He and his friend Echidna prepare for the event. They make birthday hats, a cake with bananas that looks like an echidna, blow up balloons (they play with them and pop them on Echidna's quills), and build paper chains. When everything is complete, they realize that they have forgotten Bruce whom they go back and retrieve. Lively, watercolor and black-ink illustrations enhance the story. The illustrations of Platypus and Echidna are expressive and humorous. The simple lines and white background help focus the attention on the characters' activities. Youngsters will enjoy this story of two friends enjoying themselves in celebration. Platypus has so much fun that he wants to "have another one tomorrow!" 2003, Harcourt, Ages 2 to 5.

School Library Journal
PreS-The lovable star of Platypus and Platypus and the Lucky Day (both Harcourt, 2002) returns in another delightful adventure. Here, the enthusiastic animal decides to throw a birthday party for his favorite stuffed animal. Together, he and his friend Echidna prepare for the event, donning homemade birthday hats, making a cake, blowing up balloons, and building paper chains. When everything is finally ready, they realize that they have forgotten the guest of honor. Lively, watercolor and black-ink illustrations enhance the accessible story. The white backgrounds and simple lines keep the focus on the characters' antics. Although the plot is slight, children will enjoy this warmhearted tale of good friends sharing a special time.-Andrea Tarr, Corona Public Library, CA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
