Having found a perch on a tiny island in a swamp, a small bird gets annoyed when other animals stop there, too. After a fourth animal shows up, the grouchy bird begins shouting and orders everyone to leave--only to meet an unfortunate fate in the wickedly humorous, Jon Klassen–esque ending. With their vibrant colors and hand-lettered text, the imaginative pages grab the reader's attention.
