Meg's Eggs (Meg and Mog)

Product Information

Although Thornton Burgess lived on the East Coast of the U.S., my kids and I always liked to imagine that the Oregon Coast Range is actually the Purple Hills and that we live there with Old Mother West Wind, where she begins and ends her day with her Merry Little Breezes. Some afternoons, if you look at the Coast Range from the Valley, you, too, may see the Purple Hills of the Oregon Coast Range. Helen Nicoll and Jan Pienkowski have worked together for over forty years, first at the BBC and then on the MEG and MOG books. Jan Pienkowski is a celebrated author of children's books, he has won the Greenaway Medal twice for his illustration of Joan Aiken's The Kingdom Under the Sea and Haunted House.

There are surprises galore for Meg, Mog and Owl in these three classic Meg and Mog stories: Meg's Eggs, Meg at Sea and Mog in the Fog. As ever, Meg casts her spells with the best of intentions but always with hilarious results. Children will love exploring the colours, sounds and shapes in this bumper volume, perfect for sharing or reading alone. Being a small family run farm means we can engage with our peers in a ways that are meaningful to us. In these pandemic times we're looking around to see who needs a boost from a fellow farmer so when we got a call from Meg Shaughnessy asking if we could help distribute her eggs, we discussed and agreed that yes, this is exactly the kind of thing we love to do.

Over her shoulders was slung a bag - a great big bag - and in the bag were all of Old Mother West Wind's children, the Merry Little Breezes."The bestselling MEG and MOG stories have been casting a unique spell for more than thirty-five years.
