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. When Morris finds a disappearing bag on Christmas day, he jumps right in and becomes invisible! Now he has something everyone wants to try, but they have to find him first. My inner child did not want to come out to play for this one. I agree with Meg's review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1147470477?book_show_action=true&page=... 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. no reviews | add a review
