Follow precious Little Puffin through his first year of life as his parents protect and prepare him for life on his own.
From the safety of the little chick’s nest to his clumsy attempts at flight, Van Zyle’s paintings depict Little Puffin’s adventures through a variety of perspectives, from close-up portraits to sweeping action scenes. Jonathan London’s lyrical prose imparts a reverence for wildlife, endearing the puffin chick—Sea Parrot, Underwater Acrobat, Clown of the Ocean—to the reader and creating a suspenseful read-aloud.
For six weeks, Mother and Father Puffin
take turns feeding Little Puffin.
But sometimes he’s impatient.
He waits and waits
at the mouth of the burrow,
flapping his scrawny wings.
At last, when his wing feathers have finally
all grown in . . .
It is time!

It s time to raise a chick!
They nuzzle their beautiful bills and clap them gently together. The puffins mate at sea.
Then, on a rocky slope high up on the island, they dig a burrow
