Children's Literature
Morris's brother Victor receives a hockey outfit for Christmas and his sisters Rose and Betty get a beauty kit and chemistry set, respectively. Then they all play with one another's gifts. All except for Morris. He's too young, say his siblings. He would get hurt, blow up the house, and waste the lipstick. But when Morris opens the last present, he discovers-a disappearing bag! And Victor, Rose, and Betty are so busy playing with it that Morris is left to enjoy the hockey outfit, the chemistry set, and the beauty kit! Wells has written and illustrated Morris's Disappearing Bag with her characteristic warm sense of humor. Her rhythmical sentence structure, surprise ending, and expressive characters will entrance readers of all ages.
