A puffin and his mate prepare for their new baby puffling. The book briefly shows the adults' behaviors and mating rituals, then describes their parenting practices and the early life of the puffling. Because some information is omitted, the progression can be confusing. Realistic-looking illustrations in blues, greens, and grays show the changing landscape as the birds grow and develop.
