Description:
From critically acclaimed author-illustrator of The Puffin Problem and Mallard, Mallard, Moose comes a vibrant picture book about a parrot who wants to be a puffin
Pete was an unusual parrot.
He wanted to be a puffin.
So he decided to leave town, and head for the coast.
When Pete the parrot looks back on his seafaring family history—including his grandmother, Polly Pirate, and his grandfather, Paulie Privateer—he decides to leave his cozy city home in search of the rugged puffin life on the coast. The puffins are friendly and welcome Pete with fish—which he doesn’t like to eat—and a swim in the ocean—which he doesn’t like to do—and they seem to do little more than sit on the rocks all day and night—which doesn’t interest him. Worst of all, they don’t seem to have much to say. Can Pete really live like a puffin, or is he just too different?
A charming story from the critically acclaimed author-illustrator behind The Puffin Problem and Mallard, Mallard, Moose, featuring folk art–inspired illustrations, The Land Puffin is a good-humoured yarn told in traditional Newfoundland style with a subtle message about the importance of celebrating our differences.A charming story from the critically acclaimed author-illustrator behind The Puffin Problem and Mallard, Mallard, Moose, featuring folk art–inspired illustrations, The Land Puffin is a good-humoured yarn told in traditional Newfoundland style with a subtle message about the importance of celebrating our differences.
