Too Much Stuff

A rhyming story about a pair of hoarding magpies that demonstrates the danger of having too much stuff.

Based in the same forest as Emily Gravett's Tidy.

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 seek out more things to collect and add to an ever-growing pile. From cuckoo clocks to mops and socks, a stroller and even a car - their need for stuff doesn't seems endless. Until - crash! - the inevitable happens...
