From the creator of modern classics Meerkat Mail and Wolves, comes a hilarious rhyming woodland story about a pair of hoarding magpies and the perils of having too much stuff.Based in the same forest as Gravett's award-winning Tidy, Too Much Stuff features a host of gorgeous woodland animals, including Pete the badger.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.
