About This Book
Swoopy is a black and white magpie who lives high up in a gum tree with his Mum and Dad, right beside a golf course. One day, while his parents are away finding food, a pretty pink golf ball rolls across the green grass below the nest. Swoopy cannot resist. He flies down, picks it up and carries it back home, and though he hears a man calling out, he tells himself nothing is wrong. When his parents return they gently explain that it is not right to take things that do not belong to you, and they nudge the ball back out of the nest and down to the ground.
Yet the very next day, another ball appears, and Swoopy feels that same tug of temptation all over again. Your child can turn the pages to discover what he chooses next. This is a warm, honest little tale that helps young readers understand why taking what is not theirs is wrong, in a way that feels gentle rather than scolding. It is lovely for reading aloud and for starting a kind conversation about honesty, fairness and making good choices, even when something looks very tempting. With bright pictures and a light, playful touch, it turns a simple mistake into an easy lesson. Children happily ask for Swoopy again and again.
