Have you ever seen a bird that looks like it's dressed for a party with a rainbow beak and bright orange feet?

Meet the Atlantic puffin, one of the most charming seabirds in the world. Often called the clown of the sea, puffins spend most of their lives floating on ocean waves and diving deep to catch fish. These amazing birds can hold more than ten fish in their beaks at once, nest in underground burrows, and fly underwater using their wings like flippers.

This book takes young explorers on a journey through the puffin's world, from rocky island colonies in Iceland and Norway to the cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Inside this book, readers will learn:

• How puffins use their colorful beaks and feet to attract mates
• Why puffin chicks spend six weeks growing up in dark burrows
• How puffins dive two hundred feet deep and swim like underwater rockets
• Why children in Iceland rescue lost pufflings every summer
• What threats puffins face and how we can help protect them

Packed with fun facts, a glossary, quiz questions, and hands-on activities, this chapter book makes learning about atlantic puffins an adventure. Written at a second-grade reading level with short sentences and simple vocabulary, it is perfect for young readers ages 7-9.
