Overview / 简介: |
| “Don't copy me!” It's a refrain that's well-known to children, parents, and caregivers. Now it's Little Puffin's turn to say the words as three cheeky gull chicks follow him around, imitating his every word and step. And the more the puffin protests, the more the gulls enjoy their silly game. Can Little Puffin find a way to turn his frustration into a clever plan? With his usual wit and flair, author and artist Jonathan Allen turns a simple concept into a wildly entertaining tale. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |

"The hero of Allen's Baby Owl books has insisted on various occasions that he's not cute, not scared, and not sleepy. His new avian protagonist, Little Puffin, is no less outspoken, especially when he has three small gulls mimicking his every move. Throwing his weight around doesn't help (“The Gull chicks weren't at all scared. They seemed to be having a great time”), and neither does running away (“Small Gull, Tiny Gull and Baby Gull kept up with him easily. And what's more, they copied the way he ran. How annoying!”)... Allen's story is full of punchy dialogue and humorous details; children should get a particular kick out of Baby Gull, who can't quite keep up... Allen's expressive digital illustrations, which render the birds as balls of fluff with eyes that either gleam (the gulls) or glower (the puffin), only add to the fun." |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Initially, I found this book in the library. I took it home and read it to my 3 year old granddaughter. She fell in love with it and laughed throughout the story. It became her favorite book and wanted it constantly read to her. She was so disappointed that I had to return it to the library and could not renew it since it was new. I decided to purchase one for Christmas. She was SO HAPPY. The peels of laughter emanating from her lips and "read it again, grammy" made it so worthwhile. |
