The Bag of Wind
A neo folk tale about a penniless sailor who returns from the sea with just a blue macaw and his seaman's bag, both of which are instrumental in his change of fortune. Bright, jolly, humorous pictures and the pleasing variety in page layout help to make this book just right for independent readers in both infant and junior classes.
