The Hungry Black Bag

31 pp. | Houghton/Lorraine | April, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-395-89418-2 $$15.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jacqueline Chwast. On market day, a greedy goat bullies his neighbors into giving him their belongings. He stuffs everything into his ever-expanding black bag and goes to look for more--until he meets Bear, who teaches him that he already has more than enough. The facial expressions of the animals add humor to the somewhat awkward watercolor illustrations in this cautionary tale.
