Platypus and the Birthday Party

(4) PS With the help of his friend Echidna, Platypus prepares a birthday party for his stuffed toy platypus, Bruce. Riddell's illustrations make the most of the humorous situations (spiny Echidna is better than duck-billed Platypus at blowing up balloons, but she's not very good at playing with them) and are the highlight of the slight but cheerful story, which offers a birthday party template of sorts.
