Comical Puffins

A Puffin's Year

by: Katherine Zecca

Amazon Price: $9.40 (as of 02/15/2012)
List Price: $15.95

Through the story of one puffling's first year, this handsome picture book brings close the amazing facts about Atlantic puffins. The clear text and bright, textured mixed-media art tell how two puffins come in from the sea, mate on an island, and burrow underground to prepare their nest for their single egg. They take turns keeping the egg warm, and when it hatches 41 days later, they raise their chick, feed him live fish, and then watch him leave and fly out with the other pufflings into the big ocean world. Then there is the amazing fact that two or three years later, he will return to the island and continue the cycle. Caught by the exciting science, many young readers will heed the appended conservation call by a National Audubon Society director to keep the oceans safe from spills and global warming.

Master photo-essayist McMillan finds fetching fun in a few feathered friends as he pairs likenesses of two avian species with rhyming, two-word captions. Inhabiting literally opposite ends of the earth, puffins (from the North Polar region) and penguins (native to Antarctica) share an endearing gawkiness, and McMillan's unadorned, crystalline photographs capture surprising humor and personality in the simplest of situations.
