It's definitely one that sticks with you! My daughter is currently studying it at school so I'm glad to be able to her assist her a bit, as I think it's quite a tough book for kids now. Definitely preferred my Adrian Mole at that age!

Who said writing books for children was easy?!

I hope you all enjoy this updated version.

I write poetry purely for enjoyment, but this book genuinely took me around 3 years to mould into what it is today, and I really just want it to make people smile, and have fun whilst reading it! 🪡🧵

Perfect for 4-11 year olds, (but apparently appeals to grown ups too!), with a good mix of interesting words to learn and talk about, and it's had some lovely reviews which have blown me away! 🪡🧵

I wrote The Platypus for my daughter when I was an SEN teaching assistant, with influences from Roald Dahl, Julia Donaldson and Spike Milligan.
It's a nonsense rhyming story about kindness, friendship, and acceptance, no matter how strange you are! 🪡🧵
