PARDON ME! by Daniel Miyares

A little bird is annoyed and put out when other animals start encroaching on his perch, but he is in for a surprise!

This reminded me of the brilliant I Want My Hat Back and was one of my favorite picture books from this summer. Very simple, yet very clever story. I might also pair this one with Scowl and talk about character and moods, and how books can help readers think about emotions.

5 out of 5 stars!

TIGER TALES: Counting Birds by Jing Jing Tsong

Beautiful board book for counting practice. A large number on each new page is embossed for tactile readers. Each bird has its own call included in the counting. The counting is disrupted by a fun surprise. Colorful pages, sweet illustrations. This book was a treat to look at!

4 out of 5 stars

Review Policy

I am honored when an author or a publisher offers me a book for review. My approach to these offers is to accept only the materials that sound like something I will like and to review the book as quickly as possible. I will accept electronic or physical books for review.

Not every book works for every reader. Because of this, I will not post a negative review. This could discourage a reader who would actually like the book I didn't care for. Unless a publisher requires a review, I will not post a review on a book I did not like.

At certain times of the year I may take a break from accepting review copies from authors or publishers unless I have a previous relationship with them. This allows for busy seasons at work and for the holidays, and also helps when I have a backlog of review books.

If you have a book to offer, I'd love to hear from you.
