'Black Duck and Water Rat' by Percy Trezise & Mary Haginkistas Book Review

'Black Duck and Water Rat' by Percy Trezise & Mary Haginkistas

is the story of how the Platypus came to be according to Australian aborigines. In this case a river rat takes a Black Duck as an unwilling wife and she is the mother of all Platypodes.

If you're thinking of getting this book for your children it is a little on the violent side and the idea of a rat forcing itself on a duck is just bizarre. On the other hand this book is nicely illustrated and something I had never heard of before. 

Who should read this book? Adults
