    Not a bad story about how children often share (Or don't as the case may be) also how they can be envious of anothers toy. Not a bad story, but not a great one. The artwork is acceptable, if simple, but not great. The rabbits in particular failed to impress me. Cute book about how children playing together, receive gifts, etc.

    The Rosemary Wells books do not generally do it for me. This one however was rather charming: The littlest of four kids is told he's "too little" for all of their (cooler) toys, so he finds a "disappearing bag" -- i.e., a cloak of invisibility. After demonstrating it to his siblings, they all think it's the coolest thing, and disappear for hours on end -- while he happily plays with their now-abandoned toys. Works on multiple levels, for adult and child readers alike.

    This was a very cute little book. The story is about a young mouse who got a bear for Christmas. His brother got a hockey outfit, his sister Rose got a beauty kit, and his other sister Betty got a chemistry set for Christmas. His brother and his two sisters always gave excuses to why he couldn't play with their stuff. Then, the young mouse spotted an unopened present under the tree. In it was a disappearing bag. Young mouse was really starting to enjoy his gift when his siblings wanted to use it too. So, he put them all in the bag and he began to zoom, mix, and beautify until it was time for bed!

    It was Christmas morning and everyone but Morris got amazing gifts. Morris's brother got a hockey outfit, Morris's sister Rose got a beauty kit, and his other sister Betty got a chemistry set. Morris got a bear Bt no one else wanted to play with it. Everyone said he was to little to play with there things, Morris became very sad. Then he noticed someone left one gift and when he opened it it was the best one of all. The gift was a disappearing bag. As soon as he began to play with it his brother and sisters all wanted to play with it too. Everyone began to share there gifts and couldn't wait for tomorrow to play again. This is a very adorable story about how all siblings should learn to share so no one will feel left out.

    This book is about Morris and his Christmas gifts. All his other siblings had gifts that they played with all day and Morris had a teddy bear that no one wanted to play with. He was sad, but then he found a gift under the tree that had been overlooked. He opened it and it was a disappearing bag. He family found it fascinating and was then willing to exchange their gifts to play with the disappearing bag.

No one lets Morris play with their gifts because they say that he is too young. This makes Morris very upset until he discovers another present for him under the Christmas tree. Morris opens it up and discovers a "disappearing bag." All of his syblings think Morris's present is so cool. They all decide to share their gifts with Morris so that they can play with his new bag. This is a really cute story for new readers. The illustrations are really colorful and descriptive

    I thought most kids could relate to this, especially if they have older siblings. I liked how they can see through this story that when they don't share, it hurts others' feelings. I think this also helps older siblings understand how to be nicer to their younger siblings.
