It’s got a bill like a duck, webbed feet like a duck, and it lays eggs like a duck. It must be a duck. Right? Wrong! It’s got a tail like a beaver. It swims like a beaver. It must be a beaver. Right? Wrong again! What is it then? It’s a platypus! Continuing with her children’s picture book series about animals, Hanna Golan is currently presenting IF I WERE A PLATYPUS . The platypus is one of the world’s strangest animals as it is a cross between a bird and a mammal that dates back to the Jurassic Period of over 200 million years ago when dinosaurs still roamed Planet Earth. Much like all of Ms. Golan’s children’s books, IF I WERE A PLATYPUS is filled with bright and colorful illustrations, and the language she uses to describe platypuses is child-friendly.
