Plato is a platypus and a part-time plumber with a tool kit.
On call, Plato fixes watery problems like leaking taps, but he also fixes grumpy people. From his tool kit, he uses smile spray, a feather or a joke.
Sometimes Zanzibar's family need a little help. Plato always comes, despite the ferals along the creek bank.
Water carries secrets, stories and (yucky) stuff! An eco-warrior, Plato knows how to fix things.

I liked the title Plato the Platypus. The smile spray was really cool and the Feral Cat was good.

Plato the Platypus Plumber is a great book. I like how the part-time platypus is named Plato (after the Greek thinker). The smile spray was a good idea because it actually worked. I need some of it at my house sometimes. When Dad blocked the toilet it was funny.
