Nights of the Pufflings (Houghton Mifflin, 1995) is the thirty-second, and most honored, of the forty-five children's book by Bruce McMillan.

[not verified in body] Nights of the Pufflings was translated into Icelandic (Pysjunaetur) and German (Nächte der kleinen Papageitaucher).

In 2001 a contest was held on Vestmannaeyjar to officially name the annual puffling rescue in which the children have been participating for generations.

Every August millions of pufflings leave their burrows in the cliffs and take their first flight at night time.

The children get ready to take patrols in the night streets, gather the bewildered pufflings in cardboard boxes and later set them free at the beach in daytime.
