Pardon Me! By Daniel Miyares– OPTIONAL

Miyares, Daniel Pardon Me! 40 pgs. Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. $17.95 Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G. PICTURE BOOK.
One little yellow bird is determined and happy to stay on his perch. He is incensed when numerous other animals want to share his perch, and he keeps saying Pardon me! When a fox calls out a timely warning, the little bird just won’t listen, but all the other animals do!
A bright and creatively illustrated story with a simple lesson about not being stuck in your ways.  Why I am rating this as optional? Because many students in my school aren’t familiar with the words Pardon me, they are way more used to using Excuse me. Also I just kind of felt bad for this bird, he just wanted a moments peace and he looked so happy when he found it, I can relate to that.
