Author Notes:	Sue Soltis is a published poet. About Nothing Like a Puffin, her first picture book, she says, "Writing this book was a great exercise in logic.

Bob Kolar is the author-illustrator of Big Kicks. He has illustrated many other books for young readers, including AlphaOops! The Day Z Went First and AlphaOops! H Is for Halloween, both by Alethea Kontis. Bob Kolar lives in Missouri.
