  2.The children don't keep the pufflings as pets because it is better for them to be out at sea.Also they need open space. Plus they need to learn to be on there own.
  3. They are called "clowns of the sea" because they look like little cute clowns. Also they have rosey red cheeks just like clowns. Plus I think they are talented,both clowns and pufflings.

  I think the reason they don't keep them as pets is because they need their own home.

  I think the children should let them go.If they don't it might ruin their lives not getting to mate and if male not having ckicks.

  2. Some reasons I thought they should stay at sea is they could get sick and the children couldn't help them get better. Another reason I think the pufflings sou7ldn't stay with the children is that the pufflings would probably fly away. Would you want to keep a puffling forever? I would, but we shouldn't.
  
  4. The reason the night of the pufflings is exciting is becaues you get to look for pufflings on the street. It would be sad if a puffling got ran over bye a car. It looks like fun to look for baby pufflings for the night.I hope that I can do it someday!

  When the children catch the puffling for 2 weeks finally they let them go to the sea cause if they keep them they will probley die in the boxes so thets why they let them go.

  1.I think Bruce Mcowll wrote this because he wanted to inform you if you go there.2. The children return the pufflings to the sea because if the pufflings stay they would die.

  I think the children return the pufflings because they are not very good pets and they want them to be set free.

  Pufflings are often called "Clowns of the sea" because their faces look like clowns and they swim in the sea a lot.

  2. The pufflings need certain food.Also to set out to sea for fish. If the pufflingsgot sick I bet the docter has not been with a sick puffling.It will be hard to get the pufflingwell. 1. Well, Mr McMillan could be into pufflings. Also he might of wrote for 3 graders. I wonder if he's wrote more than just Night of the Pufflings? If he has I bet it's great. But I wonder wat it would be about.

  I think the kids let the pufflings go because they need to stay warm in winter.If they kept the pufflings they would be cold.
  The pufflings go out so they won't be cold.That's why I think the children let the pufflings go.

  I think puffins are called "clowns of the sea"
  because they have funny colorful faces.They are also clumsy.When they swim they bob on the water.That's why I think puffins are called "clowns of the sea".
