The Puffins are Back by Gail Gibbons

The Puffins are Back by Gail Gibbons

The beloved Atlantic Puffin was nearly extinct, till some enterprising scientists came to its rescue...

Puffins along the coast of Maine were once hunted to near-extinction. Now, through a careful breeding program, scientists eagerly await the puffins' return each year to hatch their young. With cheerful illustrations and clear text, Gail Gibbons explains the conservation program and the life cycle of this amazing bird.
