Platypus and the Lucky Day

(3) PS In this slight but quirky book, Platypus starts the day optimistically thinking it is his lucky day. He keeps looking on the bright side as plan after plan is foiled. His kite string is tangled, his kite gets stuck in a tree, his watercolor painting is ruined in a rainstorm, and more. The poor guy heads back to bed to start the day again, when things begin to look up. Agile and tidy paintings illustrate this tale of perseverance rewarded.
