Written and illustrated by Emily Gravett
Magpies build a nest, but too much stuff threatens their home.
Expectant magpies Meg and Ash strive to create the perfect nest for their eggs. As they gather an eclectic mix of items, from cuckoo clocks to socks, their collection grows into a precarious tower. Will their desire for the perfect home lead to chaos? Discover the humorous consequences of having too much in this delightful tale.
Marie Kondo is for the birds in this hilarious picture book about expectant magpie parents and the dangers of having too many things! Magpies Meg and Ash want to build the perfect nest for their eggs. They use the usual mud, sticks, and grass, but are soon convinced that it’s not enough! Meg and Ash collect all kinds of things–cuckoo clocks, mops, socks, and more–and put them in an ever-growing pile of what they might need to make a home for their chicks. But as the tower of things grows more and more wobbly, the birds might just find out they have too much stuff!
