Silly Baby Magpie!
Big eyes and floppy head...
I've been scratching, screeching, tapping
Now I'm ready to be fed.

Silly Baby Magpie, a brand new book from Greater Glider Publications, follows baby magpie from his early life in the egg through his youth and on to maturity. Along the way we see his antics as he learns and plays.

Author Jill Morris combines simple, lively verse with text boxes containing non-fiction information about the magpie, one of Australia's most common birds. The story and information are complemented by the richly detailed illustrations of Heather Gall.

A fun and informative picture book.
