Albert of Adelaide by Howard L. Anderson is a fairly good read. Albert is a platypus who escapes from Adelaide Zoo and makes his way north to find the "real" Australia where he meets some interesting characters like Jack the wombat and Muldoon the Tasmanian Devil. They have deadly encounters with bands of kangaroos, bandicoots and dingoes. It is a sort of "Wind in the Willows" story. The characters are dressed, carry weapons and like a drink (alcoholic). Albert ends up on a "Wanted" poster and various groups do their best to capture him. More a young person's book. 3/5Monday, November 19, 2012
