About this audiobook

Puffins! features sound design and special effects to enhance your listening enjoyment. Listen out for the crashing waves of the Atlantic coast and the unique, rhythmic grunting calls of puffins in their burrows!
On the edge of the sea,
There is a nesting island as loud as a city,
Where two puffins mate, burrow, and lay their egg.
They splash into the ocean
And dodge nearby predators,
Searching everywhere to find food for their hungry puffling.
Follow one adorable puffing as she eats, grows, and learns how to survive on her busy, bustling island in this thrilling and action-packed nonfiction tale.
