review 1: The first thing that caught my attention with Pardon me was the name. I haven't seen, or read, a book with a name quite like this before. I'm very happy I got it now! It starts off with a bird on its perch, sleeping, and then another bird pushes in to join him on his perch. This happens throughout the book ending with a turtle joining the other animals on this perch. Every time an animal does join him he says, "Pardon me!" with a remark about how he wanted to be on his not very big perch ALONE. The ending isn't very happy for the bird, you'll have to read to find out.The illustrations are wonderful, I think they are water colors. There is great detail and even looking sightly cartoony, the animals look realistic. From my perspective, it looks as if the illustrator took a l... moreot of time on the illustrations in this book and they are what make this book so funny.
review 2: Miyares, Daniel. (2014). Pardon Me! New York: Simon & Schuster Books for Young ReadersPicture Book Soak This story is about a little yellow bird who keeps having other animals invade his space just by simply saying "Pardon me!" while the bird responds with witty comebacks. The story ends in a humorous way that children are sure to love. The illustrations in this book are done very well and definitely keep attention.This book would be good to use in the classroom to show sharing or in social studies to show how people's territories can be taken over.I enjoyed reading this book because of the humor and it would be a great tool in the classroom. less

A little sassy and humorous. Not all little readers will be happy with the ending.

The illustrations were awesome, but the story was very predictable.

Dark. I love it. Similar in feel to Klassen's "I want my hat back."
