The Puffin Keeper

Product Information

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. Excitingly, there are two feature length animated films of my stories now in production, unaffected by the pandemic, because much of the animation can be done at home. Kensuke’s Kingdomis being made from the same studio in London as Raymond Briggs’ wonderful Snowman, and Michael Rosen’s much loved We’re all going on a Bear Hunt. And Toto– Toto’s take (and mine) of The Wizard of Oz, his side of the story – is being made by Warner Bros in the US.

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. The Story-Makers Show was known as Puffin Virtually Live up until March 2019. The content and ambition of the show remains the same: to give every pupil the opportunity to engage with authors and illustrators in their own classroom using the power of the internet.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. 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.

The Puffin Keeper by Michael Morpurgo review — how one stormy

Una nit de tempesta, el fort onatge va fer impactar un vaixell contra les roques. Les veles es van esquincar i els pals es van trencar. Quan els passatgers ja havien perdut totes les esperances, enmig de la foscor, van albirar un bot que s’acostava. Un home remava a contracorrent, per sobre de les onades, i s’anava apropant cada cop mes al vaixell. El record d’aquella nit va marcar per sempre l’Allen. Aquesta es la historia d’una amistat que va canviar una vida, un fraret perdut, un nen i un artista solitari. Aquesta es la historia d’una vida i com tan sols un fet pot canviar-ho tot per sempre.

Oh yes, And I’ve been busying away myself on a screenplay, but that’s still a secret. So I’ll say no more. De jongen en de papegaaiduiker is een prachtig boek om voor te lezen. Het boek zit vol met sfeervolle illustraties, soms over twee bladzijden. Er is veel wit op de bladzijden en een groot lettertype, waardoor het een zelfleesboek lijkt. Dit kan ook wel, alleen de lange zinnen met veel komma's en soms ouderwetse woorden lenen zich er beter voor om voorgelezen te worden.
