Nothing Like a Puffin by Sue Soltis - ESSENTIAL

Soltis, Sue and Bob Kolar Nothing Like a Puffin. Candlewick Press, 2011. $16.

In this delightful tale, a puffin discovers the ways in which he is unique - and what he has in common with such items as a newspaper, a pair of jeans, and a shovel. The simple, colorful illustrations will pull children into this tale, and as a bonus they will learn a few facts about puffins. Would be wonderful for a discussion on similarities and differences among items.
