(4) PS Young Platypus, who loves collecting, brings home a curly shell to remind him of the sea. However, he can't understand why the shell keeps disappearing. The story is a bit thin, but preschoolers will enjoy solving the mystery before Platypus gets bitten on the toe by the answer (a hermit crab). Crisp watercolors set against a white background are uncluttered and sweet.
