Magpie's Treasure

Kate Slater

Magnus Magpie is a bird with an eye for burglary. He steals only the brightest, shiniest, most dazzling things and stashes them secretly in a hollow at the top of his tree. But do all these riches make him happy? It takes a trip to the moon for Magnus to discover that all that glitters is not gold and that true happiness can often be found at home.

"This is a most attractively colourful picture book, each illustration dazzling in a way to lure any magpie. (It) should be pored over for hours. Kate Slater's debut as a writer/illustrator is to be welcomed."
