Everyone's favourite puffling is ready for adventure in a beautiful new board book edition, especially for wee hands.
 
One morning Skye, the cheeky baby puffin, sneaks out of her parents' burrow, tumbles off the cliff edge and accidentally lands on a passing gannet's back!
 
Skye's thrilling journey takes her to the Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth where she meets a host of Scottish bird life. But she's missing her parents...
 
Written in Lynne Rickards' signature rhyme, this charming story features dynamic watercolour illustrations of Scottish sealife and a very cute puffling! The adorable companion to the bestselling Harris the Hero, is now available as a board book with a story specially abridged for sharing with toddlers.
Praise for the paperback edition:
'A nicely told adventure story for children up to the age of four or five.'
-- BBC Wildlife Magazine
'The rhyming text works well and carries the story along at the right pace. It would be particularly suitable for reading aloud. I am particularly fond of the area of Scotland surrounding the Bass Rock and thought that Jon Mitchell's watercolour illustrations really did it justice, but it is in his portrayal of Scottish sea life that these delightful illustrations really stand out. I particularly liked the attention to detail given to gannets, and Skye is just adorable!'
-- School Library Association
'This is a sweet picture book, especially for children who love puffins and birds.'
-- Youth Services Book Review
