Too Much Stuff
Emily Gravett
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.

I like when the magpie brought all the different stuff. There was too much! The magpie is my favourite.

It makes you think that you don’t need much stuff to be happy

The book tells me that we don't need so much stuff after all.

Wonderful rhyming and witty story, with a hidden message about recycling

It was great! I liked the birds which put too much stuff in their nest including a car. Their nest broke and it was just a pile of sticks and stuff, but under it was four perfect chicks.
