Puffin Rock and the New Friends

Recommended for All Ages

Based on the award-winning TV series, Puffin Rock and the New Friends sees our family favourites, Oona, Baba, May and Mossy joined by a new cast of characters, as Isabelle, Phoenix and Marvin arrive on the island. But when the last Little Egg of the season disappears under mysterious circumstances, Oona and her new friends must race against time to bring the Little Egg home before a big storm hits Puffin Rock and puts the entire island in danger. It’s an action-packed story which celebrates our magnificent natural environment, and

For Fans of Song of the Sea, The Wild Robot, Finding Nemo, Pete the Cat

Why We LOVE It: This film is full of cute and memorable animal characters, and the library has many Puffin Rock stories in its picture books section. The film is about making new friends in unexpected places, being welcomed when moving to a new place, and showing kindness toward people (or animals!) who are different.

Content Advisory: The film features a storm that has lightning and thunder, and may be startling for very small viewers.
