Publisher Description: A mouse teaches its magpie friend that more doesn't mean better in this picture book from best-selling duo Springman and Lies. "This is a timely, clearly needed fable for contemporary society as it tries to unravel itself from excessive materialism. Ideal for discussions about reducing consumption." --School Library Journal, starred review This innovative and spare picture book asks the question: When is more more than enough? Can a team of well-intentioned mice save their magpie friend from hoarding too much stuff? With breathtaking illustrations from the New York Times best-selling Brian Lies, this book about conservation wraps an important message in a beautiful package. |
