Just on the edge of the sea,
there is a nesting island as loud as a city,
where Puffin parents mate, burrow, and lay their eggs.
They splash into the ocean,
And dodge nearby predators,
Searching for food everywhere for their hungry, squawking puffling chick. . .
Follow the adorable Puffin bird as she learns from her dedicated parents how to survive on their busy, bustling island, in this delightfully colorful and action-packed nonfiction tale, perfect for fans of YOU AND THE BOWERBIRD and JUMPER.
