Brookline Booksmith says: Just like the magpie, it's in our nature to want more and more and more stuff, right? Well...no, not really. With a little effort, and some good role models, even a magpie can change her ways. This is a gorgeously illustrated book about simplifying. Use it as a gentle way of telling your kids that you are going to donate two thirds of their toys to charity!
