Platypus
Author(s): Chris Riddell
Platypus decides to go collecting - he collects a rock, an old shoe and a broken umbrella. A curly shell is exactly what he's looking for, but it keeps going missing from his special box. When he finds a hermit crab inside he returns it - and finds an unoccupied shell to collect and keep.
