The Nature Kid's Guide to Puffins: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Puffins! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898181994)

Did you know puffins beat their wings 400 times a minute just to stay airborne? That their beaks glow under ultraviolet light, a secret scientists only discovered in 2018? That kids in Iceland go out at night with flashlights to rescue lost baby puffins and carry them safely to the sea?

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Puffins" takes curious kids ages 7-12 to the wild, windswept cliffs of the North Atlantic and beyond. How does a puffin's beak grip dozens of slippery fish at once without dropping a single one? Why do puffin pairs greet each other every spring by rubbing their beaks together in a ritual called billing? What makes a puffin colony of a million birds on a single Icelandic cliff possible? Your child will be sharing facts before they finish the first chapter.

Short, easy-to-read sentences and interesting facts fill every page. From pufflings tumbling out of clifftop burrows for the first time, to puffins crash-landing on crowded rocks and bowling over their neighbors, to mated pairs returning to the same burrow year after year, every page brings some cool new facts.

A book for every kid who has ever seen a puffin and immediately wanted to know everything about it.

Puffin colonies have lost more than half their birds in just a few decades, but people around the world are fighting to bring them back. Once your child discovers just how extraordinary these little birds really are, they'll want to be part of that fight too.
