My 2 year old's favorite book

My daughter loves this book! It provides opportunities for interactive reading as she "looks left, look right" and "over and under" when the story line tells her to. Unlike many children's stories, this one has a nice plot, as the girl loses her favorite toy over and over again. My daughter enjoys the relationship between the grandmother and the forgetful little girl. What is best is the repetition of some of the words so that my 2 year old can "read" her memorized passages along with me. Buy this book for storytime and for nighttime reading.

What a terrific book!

My 4 year old and I check out 40 books every 2-3 weeks from the library. One out of 100 books go on the "Must own for our little library list". She loves it and I haven't minded reading it 20 times so far...actually she now reads it to me. We're talking to Grandma to see if she can stitch together our own plaidypus..I agree with the previous reviewer who stated that they should have included a pattern to make him. We bought this book right away and still read it at least weekly.

We love it!

My 2 year-old grabbed this book at the last minute from the library last week and has fallen in love with it! It has a nice rhythm, sweet and realistic plot, and is repetitive enough for her without annoying me (at least after a week). She's had me read it at least two times a day and fills in some of the words with a proud smile. Simply a perfect read-aloud book!

Lookout - your child will want a Plaidypus too!

My 3-1/2 year old daughter loved everything about this book, which we borrowed from the library. The poetry of it and repetitive story helped her to memorize it, and she chimed in a lot on the second and later readings. It's fun for adults to read, too - it's a sweet story, and not too long, too short, or too ridiculous. I am thankful for any children's author who makes it easy on the parents (and thus, not a great fan of all the long Dr. Seuss books!).

However, I will say that I think this book should include, on its final pages, a pattern to make your own Plaidypus, because now my daughter can't stand not to have one of her own! I will have to get creative, and make one myself... if I do, I'll post instructions on her website!

LOVE this book!!

My 2 year old daughter's best "huggy" is a platypus, so I was thrilled when I found this book at the library. My daughter has no interest in any books except for this one! We read it 4 times a day. If you can relate at all to losing (even temporarily) a child's huggy/lovey, you will love this book! I think we've lost our "platy" at least 100 times. Fortunately, he's always found his way back home, just like in this story "Plaidypus Lost".

Snippity snip. Stitchity stitch. Buttons for eyes. Surprise! Grandpa's old plaid shirt is now my new Plaidypus! Tag along with a lively young girl and her constant companion as they find adventures wherever they go--the park, the lake, or the supermarket candy aisle! And don't forget to keep an eye on Plaidypus, as there's always a chance he'll find himself astray--stuck in the sand, high on a shelf...But no need to worry: Plaidypus lost, Plaidypus found. This story goes around and around!! Janet Stevens and her sister; Susan Stevens Crummel, bring to life a heart-warming tale of a girl with a boundless imagination and a very special friend.
