This is a story with just enough suspense and a great ending - good for young children. While it begins with a message that, "being different is okay," it ends with a mother's love making everything wonderful again. On his quest for identity, the little Puffin meets wonderful characters along the way. They are funny, unique, colorful and attention to the detail of each "critter" is amazing. The tongue-in-cheek whimsy is delightful and very cleverly thought through. Notice the smallest details ... smart, very smart.

What a beautiful book! The illustrations are wonderfully rich and the artist truly has a sense of humor. The story is a tale of a young Native girl wishing to catch a king salmon. It is a confidence building story for any child. It is the favorite nighttime book for my son who is 4. I have bought some of the other Misty Mountain books and have found them all very enjoyable. What a nice find!

I love this book! We live in Colorado and have never seen a puffin, but after reading this book our kids want to travel to Alaska just to see a puffin. They feel that they already know the bird personally. The illustrations are funny and there are little secrets tucked away within the book that my kids are discovering each time they read it. You cant go wrong with this book!
