Peter and Paul are puffins and the best of friends. Then one day a terrible storm blows Peter out to sea, leaving him all alone. Desperate to find Paul, he enlists the help of a blue whale to transport him around the world in search of his friend. Along the way, they encounter birds that match Paul's description - in part. Will the friends ever be reunited?
A Petr Horacek picture book should grace the bookshelves of every nursery! Impressive as both an illustrator and storyteller, the real charm of his work is that his characters are as dopey as his palette is brilliant.
