THE PUFFIN KEEPER | Kirkus Reviews

Puffin turns 80 this year (its first four books were aimed at children evacuated to the country during the Second World War). Michael Morpurgo, whose wife Clare is the daughter of the Penguin founder Allen Lane who published them, has used it as an opportunity to share a wonderful story inspired by his late father-in-law. It was Benjamin Postlethwaite's job all his long life to make sure the light shone brightly high up in the lighthouse on Puffin Island. Not once in all his years as the lighthouse keeper had he ever let his light go out. But sometimes even the brightest light on a lighthouse cannot save a ship. This resource is a table full of questions covering each chapter of the stunning book The Puffin Keeper by Michael Morpurgo. There are a number of ways to use our facts about puffins presentation in your classroom! Presentations are really popular teaching tools because they’re super easy to use, and they’re effective for learning!The story isn't groundbreaking, nor does it need to be, it's a succinct journey of finding ones-self, family, friendship. happiness, and joy. When Benjamin Postlethwaite rescues 30 souls from a floundering schooner close to his lighthouse on the Isles of Scilly, little does he know the impact he would have on one 5 year old boy, Allen Williams. When they leave his care, he Benjamin gives Allen one of his paintings, which Allen treasures for years. As we all know theatres and cinemas and concert halls have been closed. Our wonderful film of Waiting for Anya, directed by Ben Cookson, came out a week before cinemas closed. But you can see it on DVD. Glorious photography and acting, an unforgettable film, a story seen through the eyes of a twelve year old boy, set in the French Pyrenees during the German Occupation of France in WW2. From bestselling author Michael Morpurgo comes a beautifully illustrated classic story about a lighthouse keeper, a daring rescue and puffins, for fans of War Horse and The One and Only Ivan. 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.
