Meg and Ash are a pair of magpies who are building a nest for
their perfect eggs. Although they begin their nest construction
using the usual mud, sticks and grass, Meg and Ash are soon
convinced that their nest doesn't have enough stuff and begin to
collect more things to add to an ever-growing pile. From cuckoo
clocks to mops and socks, a pram and even a car - their need for
stuff seems endless. Until - crash! - the inevitable happens.
Emily Gravett's engaging, exquisitely illustrated story will
appeal to fans of Tidy and of such classics as The Animals of
Farthing Wood and the glorious package including a double-sided
jacket with shaped flaps, make it a perfect gift for young
eco-warriors - and for everyone.
