A pair of magpies, Meg and Az, are building a nest for their eggs, high in the branches of a tree. The proud parents want the best for their soon-to-be-born children. So they gather a bunch of things they are sure they will need. But... how much can a nest hold?
A story full of freshness and humor, with a strong ecological message, from one of the most talented creators of children's books.
THEY WROTE ABOUT THE BOOK
Through this exciting story, a timeless message about overconsumption and recycling is conveyed. The clever and funny illustrations by Emily Gravett are filled with delightful details - even the endpapers of the book have been utilized with great humor. Daily Mail
Vivid narration, cleverly portrayed characters, and illustrations rich in humor. The Bookseller
A simple story with a profound message for young readers: material goods are not the most important thing in life. In a world focused on material possessions and showiness, this book teaches children that satisfaction does not come from filling our nest (our home) with things, but from realizing what is more important in our lives.
A Bunch of Things is a wonderful book, written in rhyme, featuring a pair of magpies (animals known for collecting shiny objects) building their nest... A book that can be used in the classroom, as one can connect a bunch of activities to it - discussions, drawing, and writing exercises (what would you put in your nest?).
The colorful and lively illustrations make the book suitable even for very young ages, as the characters have very clear expressions on their faces... A book with beautiful pictures, an enjoyable story, and an important message - what more could one ask for? ReadingZone
