About the Book

What happens when a greedy little magpie takes one shiny thing too many? Discover the hilarious and heartwarming story of Maggie - the bird who took everything, until one clever farmer taught her a lesson she'd never forget. Maggie the Magpie: A Rhyming Tale of Theft and Consequence is a beautifully illustrated, laugh-out-loud children's picture book packed with rhythm, mischief, and a moral that sticks. Written in fun rhyming verse, this original story is perfect for shared reading at home, in classrooms, or as a bedtime favourite. Maggie is a bird with a beady eye for treasures - but they're never hers. Whether it's silver spoons, glittering jewels, or even schoolchildren's sandwiches, Maggie can't help herself. She snatches, grabs, and hoards. But stealing isn't a victimless crime, and the village has had enough. Instead of punishment, one quiet but clever man - Farmer Bob - hatches a plan to teach her a valuable lesson in honesty, empathy, and personal responsibility. This poetic tale takes young readers on a journey from selfishness to self-awareness. As Maggie's own belongings are mysteriously taken, she begins to understand what it feels like to lose what's yours - and why doing the right thing matters more than shiny things ever could. Why parents, teachers, and children love this book: ✔️ Engaging rhyming text that's fun to read aloud and easy for children to follow ✔️ Soft, expressive artwork that brings emotion, humour, and heart to every page ✔️ A relatable moral lesson about actions and consequences, delivered gently and cleverly ✔️ Ideal for early readers, ages 3 to 8 - whether at home, school, nursery, or the library ✔️ Sparks valuable conversations about right and wrong, kindness, fairness, and change If your child enjoys books like The Gruffalo, What the Ladybird Heard, or Oi Frog, they'll love Maggie's cheeky antics and the satisfying twist that shows even a thief can change. This is more than a story about a bird - it's a playful parable that invites children to think about how their actions affect others and what it means to make things right. With clever rhymes, heartwarming redemption, and a quirky sense of humour, Maggie the Magpie is a book that kids will want to read again and again. Perfect for: Ages 3-8 EYFS and KS1 classrooms Home learning and reading time Teaching empathy, kindness, and respect Gifting to children who love animals, humour, and rhyme
