This delightful and touching story tells the story of two puffins, Peter and Paul. They are best friends but become separated in a storm. Peter enlists the help of a whale, but his description of his friend is too vague, with Peter omitting to say that his friend is a puffin. This results in the whale taking him to see parrots, toucans and penguins. Through a process of elimination, they find Paul and the best friends are reunited once more.
