December Books, Day 28: Morris's Disappearing Bag

Just for fun today:  Morris's Disappearing Bag, by Rosemary Wells.

In a similar style to Wells's Max and Ruby books, this is a short and quirky Christmas story, about Victor, Rose, Betty and Morris.  Victor, Rose and Betty are big.  Morris is small.  Victor, Rose and Betty get good Christmas toys, and then they play with each others'--but nobody wants to trade for Morris's bear.  Then Morris finds something way cooler than a chemistry set or a hockey outfit:  a Disappearing Bag.

And here's a Christmas present for you:  you can watch the Weston Woods version of the story on You-tube.



Enjoy!
