Synopsis
‘Don’t copy me!’ Every parent and carer will recognise this refrain. But how will Little Puffin manage to stop three cheecky, little gulls from copying everything he does...and says? Little Puffin is patient and turns his frustration into a clever plan. With his usual wit and flair, Jonathan Allen neatly weaves this simple tale into hugely enjoyable entertainment for all the family.

About the Author
Jonathan Allen has created many wonderful picture books for children. His international success is based on his observant wit, appealing art and his child-like sense of fun. Jonathan lives happily in a quiet village in South Cambridgeshire with his partner, his two children, a dog, a cat, two guinea pigs, several guitars and three computers.
Review
"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." --Publishers Weekly
