Here is one of the pages from Platypus and the Lucky Day. This books fits in well with the Australia Unit and I show this page during the Hat Unit (not yet posted) to show the hat with the corks tied to it to shoo away insects.
Here is my Australia hat given to me on my birthday in 2007 from my friend Beth! Thank you Beth - I use it during the Australia Unit and the Hat Unit! It really is unique!
