Nights of the Pufflings
by Bruce McMillan
| holes dug in the ground by animals for shelter or protection | |
| stiff material made of layers of paper pressed together | |
| a very steep slope of rock or clay | |
| to come out from the egg | |
| a body of land surrounded by water | |
| examining carefully | |
| beneath the surface of the ground | |
| confused | unable to tell people or things apart |
| puffin | a sea bird of northern waters, having a thick body, large head, and bill of several colors |
| puffling | offspring of a puffin |
| rescue | to save from danger or harm |
| stranded | left in a helpless situation |
