There once was.........

Atlantic Puffin

There once was a Puffin, just the shape of a muffin, who lived on an island in the bright blue Sea!                                                                                                

He ate little fishes, that were most delicious,and he had them for Supper and he had them for Tea!

I would sing this little song to the students who attended my preschool years ago.  I would show them Newfoundland on the World Map.
