Peter's latest CD includes classic songs from the early days plus 5 new songs, concert video clips an so much more. Incidentally, that picture was taken of Peter during a rare appearance with a full rock band in 1991. Recent calculations confirm that we've reached over a million kids and traveled a million km by car and plane to get to so many shows over the last few years!

The photos for the new CD case were taken by Peter during his days as a biologist, on the Quebec North Shore of The Gulf Of the St. Lawrence River, on St. Mary's Island seabird sanctuary. "We used to gently pull a puffin from her burrow for students to hold. The looks of excitement in the eyes of those kids, as they felt the little heart beat fluttering at twice the speed of their own and saw the cute puffin eye lids opening and closing sideways... was the inspiration for my becoming an educator. I wanted to do whatever it takes to put that "look" in kid's eyes!" (Peter Lenton, journal entry, July 1986)

“What I liked about Peter Puffin is how he taught us information in his songs.” Student, Elbow Park School, Calgary, Alberta

“Dear Mr. & Mrs. Lenton, Thank you very much for the recording your son made. I like all the songs but my favorites are the Bug Song and the Dragonfly Rap. Mummy and I have great fun doing all the actions. Love, Ben.” London, England.
