Informational, Grades 3-4
I loved this book about Puffins! There were so many interesting facts I hadn't known. They were told in an easy to understand way for young readers. The pictures were beautiful and vibrant and would really hold a child's attention. I could see myself using this book in an Arctic Animal Unit in my future classroom.

Puffins are cute. There are good pictures of puffins looking cute, and also some informative text. But mostly cute pictures.
