What Experts Are Saying About Platypus Books

Carolyn Bailey
ForeWord Magazine, Jan/Feb. 2006: The animal facts … are completely engrossing. Most readers are sure to be surprised by something they learn about these seemingly familiar animals. …School-aged animal lovers will enjoy the easily digestible and fun-for-sharing facts, which are sure to spark some lively discussions. The colorful illustrations and catchy title make this a wonderful gift book for expectant parents or families with children.
Marguerite Kelly
Author, The Mother's Almanac: Caring parents should be delighted with the low-key style of these books and the gentle way they foster love and respect between parent and child. You can count on the sign of the platypus to please the child and draw a family together.
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 Media books have captured the values of close-knit families from many different perspectives.
Marian Tompson
Co-founder, La Leche League, International: Breastfeeding is indeed a family affair and the Platypus Media books acknowledge the importance of Dad and brothers and sisters to the nursing mother and baby. Each book portrays the breastfeeding family in true-to-life situations that provide practical examples of loving guidance in a context that is both inspiring and fun for all.
Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, Ph.D.
Author, The Hidden Feelings of Motherhood: Parents who are responsive to their children's needs often find themselves swimming upstream against the culture. Platypus Media books encourage parents as they create families that are close-knit. Through sharing stories, Platypus Media is building a caring community where children and parents alike can thrive.
Milton Werthmann, Jr., MD
Neonatologist and Director, Pediatric Center: There's more to good health than regular check-ups. Security, love and caring boost any child's chance at a lifetime of well-being. The values portrayed in Platypus Media Books are just what the doctor ordered!
Jolene Ivey
Founder and Co-President, Mocha Moms: For parents who want the very best for their children, breastfeeding is the place to start. Since not every family has a breastfeeding tradition, I use Platypus Media books to inform families - from a variety of perspectives - how breastfeeding can be incorporated into daily lives. Every family member can see how closeness pays off.
