Editorial Review from Product Description:

If someone should ask you "Where you "longs to?," he's probably from Newfoundland and Labrador, and he wants to know where you are from. This exotic and wonderfully unusual province joined the rest of Canada in 1949. "P is for Puffin" takes children on an alphabetical tour of this fascinating land, where they can see 60-foot icebergs and 22 varieties of whales, make music on an accordion or an "ugly stick," taste such delicacies as seal flipper pie and moose stew and hear of a history that's rich with Viking explorers, shipwrecks and pirates' treasures.

beautiful book, not just for kids, 2007-01-18
This book is certainly a touch of home for N L people. I bought it for my 75 yr old mom and my adult children. My mom lived on Prospect Street, 2 blocks from the wharf. The houses were not painted like a circus when she grew up there, or when we visited in the 60s'. Now I think it is for the tourists. Anyways, it is beautifully written and illustrated. It has simple writing for the younger ones on part of the page, and more indepth writng for older ones. br / br /I know this is a series of states and provinces. I just picked up T is for Tarheel at my Costco for my grandson and me. Not a good series for book lovers , especially if you like alphabet books. you could go broke.

Beautiful and unique alphabet book, 2006-11-09
Our whole family loves this gorgeous alphabet book. The illustrations and choice of local representation for each letter of the alphabet are beautiful, unique, and creative. The detailed descriptions add a bit of local education for the older kids and adults who read it to the littlest members of the family. There is something in this book for everybody. A real treat and a reminder of home.
