They spend the summer on the rocky cliffs of the islands, caring for their newly hatched chicks.

In the company of Erna, Dáni, and their father, they drive through town at night, carefully searching for confused little birds that have glided down onto the streets instead of out to sea. Will the children find the pufflings before the birds encounter danger? Will the pufflings ever make it to the sea to spend their lives with other puffins in the North Atlantic Ocean?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe fascinating story of this unique annual rescue, combined with Ted Lewin's dramatic paintings and Betsy Lewin's lively field sketches, is sure to make \u003ci\u003ePuffling Patrol\u003c\/i\u003e a hit with animal lovers of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTed Lewin\u003c\/b\u003e and his wife, \u003cb\u003eBetsy\u003c\/b\u003e, have been traveling the world together for decades and have chronicled many of their wide-ranging adventures in books for young readers.
