Magpie's Treasure by 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.
With its sweet and gentle message, magical notes, and particularly its beauty, Magpie's Treasure is ideal for bedtime reading-- Keith Dudhnath * TheBookBag.co.uk *
