Synopsis
This remarkable book chronicles the efforts of biologist Steven Kress to rejuvenate a once-flourishing puffin colony on Egg Rock, an island off the Maine coast, with puffin chicks from Newfoundland. With their large, colorful beaks, their upright posture, and their big, dark eyes, it's easy to see why puffins are popular all over the world. But for the past hundred years, puffins along the coast of Maine have been threatened with local extinction. Biologist Stephen Kress decided to try to bring puffins back to Maine with an experiment that had never been attempted before. Stunning color photographs on every page capture each step of this wildlife success story. As you learn about The Puffin Project, you'll also learn all about puffins how they are so wonderfully adapted to their ocean environment, how they catch fish, socialize, nest in burrows, and raise their young.

Review
"What a great story about a person doing something to help our fellow creatures. Welcome back, puffins!"
A story that is, at its heart, about how a kid from Ohio accomplished one of the biggest conservation victories of our time.
One of the great success stories of conservation.
Delight and wonder can nourish in a child a life-long commitment to preserving Planet Earth. Project Puffin is a book that ought to confirm a child's delight in these seabirds. It is the true story of one man's vision and devotion.
