In this book readers meet the bunny Morris, the baby in a brood of four. Each one is gifted a unique present on Christmas morning, all seemingly more thrilling than the bear Morris receives. No one will share their decidedly grown up gifts (a chemistry set, a hockey outfit, and a beauty kit), that is, until...

Morris sat under the Christmas tree. Suddenly he noticed a package that had been overlooked. He opened it. In it was a Disappearing Bag. Morris crawled right in.

The gift of invisibility is simply too hard to resist, and what started out as an awful holiday for our dear, little bunny becomes the best one yet. A sweet, sweet stocking stuffer for any little bunny who's ever felt like vanishing, even if just for a moment.

Wells' bright watercolor-and-acrylic artwork adds zest and warmth to the story of the youngest rabbit, who is disappointed with the less-than-exciting stuffed bear he gets for Christmas--but delighted with an overlooked package he finds under the tree.
