Meg and Ash are a pair of magpies building a nest for their eggs.

They start with the usual mud, sticks and grass, but as the nest takes shape, Meg and Ash think that it's not quite right. It needs something more. So they begin to collect things to add to the construction - clocks, mops, socks, a pram, even a car – it gets out of hand. How will they ever know that they have everything just so?

It's a lovely picture book with cheery, lively images of the birds and animals.
