- M. Catherine Pfeiffer
- Elementary School Librarian, Watkins School, Washington DC
- Platypus Media books give us a fun way to help meet curriculum objectives in reading, science, language arts and social studies. The kids love them -- and the Activity Guides do a lot of the work for us!
- Maria Salvadore
- Children's Literature Specialist, Washington, DC
- What's really exciting about this line of books is that children from every background can relate to them. Platypus books have captured the values of close-knit families from many different perspectives.
- Rochelle Testa
- Special Education Science Teacher, Montgomery County, MD
- If My Mom Were a Platypus is both delightful and informative.
From the perspective of a special education teacher it is a useful
teaching tool. The consistent organization lends itself to various extension activities that need to be reinforced at the middle school level. The short paragraphs are not only approachable for the lower reader, they lend themselves to skimming activities.
Platypus Media books are great in the classroom!
