I bought this because of how beautiful the illustrations are, and I have no regrets. The story of a kind old lighthouse keeper rescuing a puffin and gaining a family warmed my heart. This book was a lovely experience.
Absolutely adored this! So glad I had a little book fairy share this with me! Really inspiring and beautiful.
I've read a few books by Morpurgo and while they aren't my favourites, they are always a fun read. This book was another quick, enjoyable story. The audiobook I listened to was read by Hugh Laurie, which was great.
This was a heart-warming story with characters that you just can't help liking. I think it would definitely be good for younger readers, but feels like it can also be enjoyed by anyone.
This is another book that I wouldn't have picked up without using it to complete a readathon prompt, but I'm glad I did as it was enjoyable.

Excellente histoire d’amitié qui est à la fois touchante et brillamment illustrée.
The narrator, Alan, is rescued, along with his mother, and the other passengers on a boat that was sinking. The keeper of the light house saves all of them, but says he only did it because it was the right thing to do, and so doesn't want no stinking medal.
Alan writes to him, but never hears back, and continues with his life, until, when he is fully grown, he goes off in search of the man who saved his life.
The island the light house is on, is called Puffin Island, but there are no puffins there, until, the day Alan arrives at the light house.
Sweet story of the love of animals and the love of the land.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This is a really sweet, gentle story about an old lighthouse keeper who becomes friends with young man that he rescued, along with other passengers, from a shipwreck when the young man was a small child. They are reunited years later and form a sweet friendship that benefits them both as they bond over a stranded puffin, and their love of nature and art. This book is beautifully illustrated and it made a great bedtime read-aloud for me and my 9 year old.
4.5⭐️
This is such an immensely beautiful and uplifting read.
Dedicated to the founder of Penguin Books and "the real Puffin Man, but also the Pelican Man, and of course the Penguin Man", the story follows a lighthouse keeper who saves 30 passengers during a shipwreck and the unlikely friendship he strikes up with one of the little boys whom he rescued.
The story really warmed my heart and I love the illustrations. I only wish it was longer.
So how do puffins come into play? You'll just have to read the book to find out

A beautiful book, both in story and illustration. Utterly warm and endearing.
