The Land Puffin

by

<p><i>Pete was an unusual parrot. <br/> He wanted to be a puffin. <br/> So he decided to leave town, and head for the coast.</i> </p> <p>When Pete the parrot looks back on his seafaring family history—including his grandmother, Polly Pirate, and his grandfather, Paul Privateer—he decides to leave his cozy city home in search of the rugged puffin life on the coast. The puffins are friendly and welcome Pete with fish—which he doesn’t like to eat—and a swim in the ocean—which he doesn’t like to do—and they seem to do little more than sit on the rocks all day and night—which doesn’t interest him. Worst of all, they don’t seem to have much to say. Can Pete really live like a puffin, or is he just too different? </p> <p>A charming story from the critically acclaimed author-illustrator behind <i>The Puffin Problem</i> and <i>Mallard, Mallard, Moose</i>, featuring folk art–inspired illustrations, <i>The Land Puffin</i> is a good-humoured yarn with a subtle message about the importance of celebrating our differences.</p>

Gary the Seagull

by

<p>It’s a hot summer day and Gary is hungry. The beach is packed with people…and packed with people’s lunches. Though he’s been known to eat everything from minnows to garbage, it’s beach lunches Gary loves most of all. With his patented seagull cunning, Gary takes increasingly ridiculous measures to trick a young boy into sharing his lunch. Will the boy hand over his ketchup chips and watermelon? </p>
<p>This uproarious read-aloud from beloved Ontario-based songwriter and entertainer, better known by his stage name, B. A. Johnston, will have parents hugging their beach coolers a little tighter and kids shouting “SHOO, BIRD! SHOO!” Halifax-based illustrator-cartoonist Paul Hammond provides bright and bold illustrations and hand-lettered embellishments for a salty good read.</p>
