A little bird just wants some peace and quiet-but he's about to get a whole lot more than he bargained for in this clever picture book debut, in the tradition of Jon Klassen's I Want My Hat Back. It's a beautiful, sunny day in the swamp when a little yellow bird settles down on a rock-only to be interrupted as first a heron, then a frog, then a turtle ask to sit on the rock with him.

As each animal says "pardon me," the little bird's replies get grumpier: "I suppose I can't stop you.""It's already crowded, don't you think?""Sure, the entire swamp's here already.

Why shouldn't you be, too?" When a fox comes by, the bird finally loses his cool.

But it just so happens that fox showed up for a reason, and the little bird's outburst leads to a surprise ending you'll want to read again and again.
