Atlantic Puffin: Little Brother of the North
A brightly illustrated book – told from the puffin’s point of view. Children will marvel at how puffins swim like fish, outwit seagulls, and create cosy nests in a tough northern climate.Source: The Canadian Children’s Book Centre. Canadian Children’s Book News. 2006.
