Quando un piccolo ornitorinco visita lo zoo, tutti gli animali presumono che sia venuto per il posto vacante e viene rapidamente sottoposto a un rigoroso processo di intervista. Ma l'ornitorinco è troppo insipido per i camaleonti, non abbastanza aggraziato per i fenicotteri e i suoi trucchi non impressioneranno mai le scimmie. Quindi, se ne va. Gli animali si pentono presto di essere stati così scortesi, ma... cos'è questo? L'ornitorinco ha lasciato un invito! Oh cielo, sembra che in realtà fosse venuto allo zoo per invitarli tutti alla sua festa. Uh-oh! Ma con tutto perdonato e dimenticato, l'ornitorinco accoglie i suoi nuovi amici dello zoo a una fantastica festa sul suo Platypus! Questo esilarante libro illustrato in rima, dal pluripremiato creatore di There's a Bear on My Chair, unisce incomprensioni comiche a una storia sincera su accettazione e appartenenza. "C'è un tocco di Tim Minchin in Collins... il suo tono è divertente ma sentito e un po' rock'n'roll" - The Guardian "...una filastrocca di animali meravigliosamente divertente con un delicato messaggio di inclusione e accettazione." - The Bookseller Children's Previews "L'autore e illustratore Ross Collins ha conquistato una schiera di fan con la sua divertentissima storia in rima, There's a Bear on My Chair, e il suo ultimo libro illustrato, This Zoo is Not for You, è altrettanto delizioso. Dimostrando ancora una volta il suo talento con i distici in rima, ha tutte le ripetizioni accattivanti e divertenti di un classico della buonanotte... Oltre all'umorismo, è una storia davvero toccante sulla tolleranza, l'accettazione e l'accoglienza degli estranei nel profondo." - Waterstones (blog) "Questo libro è una gioia da leggere! Lo schema delle rime funziona perfettamente, scivola via dalla lingua, mentre un giocoso senso dell'umorismo porta gioia a ogni pagina... Le illustrazioni sono composte in modo brillante e c'è molto da individuare anche nelle visite ripetute." - Teach Early Years Awards "Il testo in rima rimbalza, rendendo la storia fantastica da leggere ad alta voce e creando molte voci per ogni animale. Le illustrazioni sono piene di umorismo... Una storia favolosa che tutti possono apprezzare." - North Somerset Teachers' Book Award

Ross Collins's primary 1 teacher, Mrs Spears, told his parents that he should go to art school. 13 years went by until he was finally 'old enough' to get into the Glasgow School of Art. Can you believe that? - 13 years. On graduating he won the Macmillan Prize for his first picture book. Since then he's illustrated over 100 books for children and written a few of them too. Several of them have won enormous glittering awards which he keeps in a box in Latvia. Ross's book The Elephantom was recently adapted into a critically acclaimed play by those clever people at the National Theatre who made that War Horse thing. When he's not creating children's books he enjoys working on character development for animation studios like Laika and Disney. He also likes walking in the Scottish glens with his dog Hugo, who is an idiot, and his partner Jacqui, who is not.

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. A funny, rhyming picture book about the importance of tolerance and kindess, from the bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator, Ross Collins. When a small, friendly platypus arrives at the zoo, the animals assume he has come about the vacancy and are all keen to interview him. But the chameleons dismiss him as too bland, the flamingos protest that he's not graceful enough and, despite his best efforts, poor Playtpus will never impress the monkeys. No one wants him and so Platypus turns and leaves. The animals swiftly regret being so unkind, but . . . what's this? The platypus has left an invitation! He had actually come to the zoo to invite them all to his party! But the platypus has a big heart and, with all forgiven and forgotten, he quickly welcomes his new zoo friends to a fantastic party on his PlatyBus! A perfect bedtime story that combines comic misunderstandings with a touching message about acceptance and belonging. "There's a touch of Tim Minchin about Collins . . . his tone is funny but heartfelt and a little bit rock'n'roll" - Guardian From the award-winning creator of There's a Bear on My Chair, winner of the Amnesty CILIP Honour 2016 and shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal 2016. Can't get enough? Look out for more brilliant picture books by Ross Collins: There's a Bear on my Chair, There's a Mouse in my House, What Does an Anteater Eat?, and This is a Dog.
