Now she is flourishing. Beautiful feathers, emaculate claws, curtesy of the parlour, and such a witty personality. Her beak is still mishapen but she can still eat and The Humans make sure she gets her share. The Humans have kept us entertained by spreading wooodchip around and bringing us fresh logs full of grubs. Young readers have loved following Meg and Mog’s amusing adventures for over 40 years.

The Humans built a big shelter and run but the longer it went on the more bored we got. They tried to keep us occupied with different things, swings, straw bails, CDs and of course our favourite, cabbage pinata (for those non-EU types, cabbage on a string). I tried so hard not to stare at her but her crest was so big. Having said that it's not as big as one of the other girls called MeShell, she really does have the biggest crest I have ever seen.

I enjoyed reading the Meg and Mog stories as a child and had several in the book box in my first classroom. We recently inherited some of the books and now my daughter is enjoying them, she loves Meg’s spells as they never work quite as they should!

This week they have surpassed themselves. Cabbage, yes cabbage, better than bird burgers or caviar. Helen Nicoll was a television producer with the BBC for many years. It was here, as Producer of the children's educational series WATCH, that she first met Jan Pienkowski. After working together for four years, they decided it was time to preserve their creativity in book form for future generations of children to enjoy. The result is the immensely popular MEG AND MOG series. The Story: Meg casts a spell to make eggs for supper. The spell doesn’t go as planned, the eggs are too big and hard to eat. In the middle of the night three dinosaurs hatch. Meg’s spell to save them from being eaten by the Tyrannosaurus causes all three dinosaurs to shrink. Flash Cards – Use in a variety of ways to introduce and practice new language, develop literacy skills or as visual prompts for language games. Hope you've had a great Valentine's Week. We have had an odd start to this year, in December Bird Flu hit the UK and as a result we have to live in a pen the humans have built for us. It's quite big and spacious but it's not the same as being able to roam freely round The Garden and I haven't had a chance to wander up The Drive for a while. I also haven't been able to hide my eggs from the humans!!Mog and Owl are hungry, so Meg makes a spell. It goes wrong and they all go to bed without any supper, but Mog and Owl are still hungry... The weather has been getting gradually colder here in The Garden and on several mornings I have seen the human who looks like Julia Roberts, defrosting the water. We are nice and warm in our coop and have the new Coop Central Heating, which means we can control the temperature from wherever we are in The Garden. Coloring sheets– Choose between 6 different worksheets and follow the activity suggestions to make this activity as interactive and language rich as you like.

Meg’s Eggs is a fun story that will appeal to toddlers and preschoolers but is also a great book for preschoolers and developing readers. I have been getting very friendly with Wilemmina. She was so quiet when she first arrived and I didn't really know her. She was such a scrawny little thing when she arrived. No feathers, beak all out of line and the longest claws I have ever seen.She is still very shy and generally keeps herself to herself. She is slightly older than the adolescent girls and came from one of those places where they keep you in a cage all day, I am so pleased I have always been in The Garden.
