colorful bills flash, Webbed feet paddle, Meet the puffin! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these brilliant seabirds. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the birds' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an Aleut legend about the puffin adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
