Lisa Strattin (1955-) born in Dallas, Tx. Once becoming a Grandma in 2001, I began writing children's books to read to my grandchildren. I always preferred to write books that taught my grandchildren things about the world we live in, since I think there are plenty of fairy tales and other fiction to go around.
My children's books are full of stunning pictures and include fun facts to hold the interest of children from start to finish.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2022Disappointing images - content is good.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2020This is a collection of 1-page facts about platypus, next to a low quality picture of a platypus swimming in water. The platypus presented in the pictures does not have much to do with the content next to it. Being a "picture book", the pictures are of low resolution, poorly composed, and some images are even distorted. At the end of the book there are a handful coloring sheets. Interestingly, the book was printed the date after my order was placed. Only good thing can say about this book is that it was printed on nice paper. This is a disappointment overall.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023I would have preferred the pictures to be brighter.
Do like the drawings the little one can color at the back😊
- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2023This is perfect for my future granddaughters❣️
The Dad is a platypus fan and will enjoy reading and coloring with his kids.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2022This book had easy to understand text, however, the photos were of very poor quality. There was no way in many to even see that it was a platypus. I sent this back. Disappointed, as there is very little out there on this most unusual creature.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021Terrible book. Barely any pages of information. 6 pages of coloring. Waste of money.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2022Low resolution photos as well as stretched photos. With remedial information.
However this is ok for the purpose I bought it. My 2.5 year old Is now obsessed with the platypus, so if he rips pages out of this book or destroys it or colors on it it’s okay. However for a child above the age of 3, I would not purchase it. it’s totally my fault because I didn’t look at the reviews I just saw a book about platypus and the front of the book is misleading on the quality. I just did a quick instant purchase with us instead of looking at it more.
