PADDY THE FLAT FOOTED PLATYPUS

About the Book

Misty Pond is the home to a community of marsupials happily living out their days in peace. When this otherwise tranquil community is in trouble and there is a mystery to be solved, Paddy The Flatfooted Platypus is the one for the job. With the help of his nephew Ixby, his investigations lead him to monotremes, flying possums, bandicoots, from burrows to nightclubs, and even all the way to Tasmania in search of the Tasmanian Tiger.
