Bye-Bye Magpie is a sweet book, that introduces kids to different animals. I would consider the audience to be pre-schoolers; there is lots of repetition which is great for this age group. Some of the language is a little complex but fine if read to a child. There is a diverse set of characters in the illustrations which is good to see; it might have been better if the new animals were little more prominent in the pictures.
I recommend Bye-Bye Magpie as a nice bedtime story.

This sweet picture book is filled with various birds and a wonderful diversity of children. The story is simple and plays into a child’s love of repetition at this age. It allows them to grasp simple concepts and guess what is coming next. The illustrations are artistic and attractive, with calming colors. A good bedtime picture book.
