From the publisher

“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.
